I think some are being a bit unkind - yes the book has a daft title and the games in it are hardly inspiring but the whole point of the book is to teach beginners the basics of programming . You can't really do that with clever compact code.
I think what may irk some people is the fact that if you write a book on a subject it is expected that you are pretty much an expert in the field you are writing about - something I doubt in this case given that the author has never actually produced and published a game himself - that I am aware of anyway.
However the achievement of actually writing a book , getting it published and doing so well at such an early age is very commendable.
