I've read a lot of games programming books and this is probably the best one I've seen for beginners to intermediate programmers. It starts off with simple games and builds up. Learning to write games requires a lot of different skills but this book covers a lot of ground without swamping the reader.
After I bought it for myself (I started reading it in a bookshop and couldn't put it down - even though I've been writing games as a hobby for 20 years), I bought copies for other people interested in writing games as a present.
