Goodreads.com on Game Development with Ren'Py:
"Ciesla does a very good job of exposing the reader to the world of visual novels detailing its history, current state, terminology, tools to build them, and ways to deploy them.. This is probably the most self-contained work on visual novels I have seen."
John King (Football Factory, The Prison House) on Robert's work:
" .. very powerful, well written. And no word wasted. "
