Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

You flick through the book and see all the awesome projects your child can make, like a space dogfight between the Millennium Falcon and a TIE fighter. Eager to get going, you start looking for the images to import. You check the front cover for a CD, remembering the olden days when you learned to code... nope not there, so you check inside the back cover... nope, no CD there either. You remember it's 2017, curse yourself for being so silly and conclude the assets must be online; so you start hunting through the pages looking for a download address. Back and forward you go, but no link can be found. Then you look more closely at that Boba Fett game you really want to make, and notice the words "you can draw your own sprite"... "surely not" you think and so you start frantically going through all the projects... then the cold hard truth hits.... you have to draw *all* the sprites and backgrounds yourself. You then remember your child is 7, and is only just getting used to fine mouse control... yet the book seems to assume they are not only a budding coder, but also an accomplished pixel artist... ironically one of the hardest art forms to master! This book deserves the 1 star ratings everyone is giving it, just for the pile of disappointment it dumps on your child. All that’s missing are the words “Santa doesn’t exist” on the first page, then it would be complete. I assume the assets were kept private due to some crazy Lucasfilm copyright nonsense, however everyone involved in the making of this book should have known better; and therefore what could have been the greatest Scratch book of all time is now probably going down in history as the worst, even if the content and tutorials are actually quite good.
