### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Might be the best go book out there
*by J***S on July 6, 2017*

Might be the best go book out there. Should be suitable for anyone 10k to 5dan. Quality of the print isn't great, but not something that bothers me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
*by H***0 on January 7, 2016*

Great book, well written.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How to Attack .....and not give away the game.
*by B***Y on February 10, 2000*

This is a great book for someone who knows the basics. It would be an excellent introduction to the middle game for someone finishing the Learn to Play Go series by Janice Kim and Jeong Soo-Lyn. It takes for granted that you are familiar with some basic openings and begins at that point. It is a focus on balance and power and how to achieve those goals through attacking your opponents stones while defending your own framework. This book helps novice players develop workable and potent strategies. It also teaches you to defend against common attacks. I've been playing go little less than a year. I'm a 15k on NNGS (nngs.cosmic.org) and this book helped me immensely. I have been evenly matched in games with a friend since we began learning together. After reading this book I'm three stones ahead of him. It is packed with loads of information and I'm sure I'll be reviewing this book to pick up some of the lessons I missed the first time through.
