This book was mostly well-written, and is a good start for people looking to start animation in Blender. For me, there were parts where the book's explanation wouldn't work or I had questions that I had to seek answers to in other places. But for the most part, it's a really good introduction.

This book was presented in an easy-to-understand way. I learned a lot about it. It should be noted that as of this review, Blender has been through a major update which makes the book partially outdated. Most of the functionality still applies though.

The Intuos4 small tablet is actually a really great buy. It feels pleasant to use, the buttons are responsive, and the multiple nibs for the pen to simulate real pens/pencils/brushes work fairly well at what they're there for. I give it a full 5/5 because it was not only a great device, but it came with useful softwares. My next Tablet will certainly be another Wacom.
