One star for the deceiving title and for other reasons (keep reading).
The book would have deserved a possible 3-4 stars rating if it explained exactly what device and what level of Android it was for. The claim that it is for "Android Phones and Tablets can't be supported. There are several flavors of Android currently in use and many of the dozens or hundreds of phones and tablets 'out there' add their own skins on top of Android and then there are the forks (think Kindle) that various vendors add to the mix. I understand that naming the book something like "Android 4.2 for Nexus Phones and Tablets" would have drastically reduced the number of potential buyers but it would have been the right thing to do. The current title can give buyers the false hope or expectation that the book will make it easy for THEM to better understand THEIR version of Android running on THEIR phone or tablet and that is not the case in most instances.
Except for the cover, there is not ONE screenshot of what Android is like on a tablet. There are some rare references to tablets but it's fair to say that there is very little tablet-specific content and all screenshots appear to be from one specific phone, probably a pure Android Nexus.
The book has very few references to the specific version of Android the screenshots came from. I suspect it's Android 4.3 and that's not what runs of the the overwhelming majority Android devices today. According to an article published in September 5, 2013 "Android 4.2.x [is installed] on just 8.5 percent of devices, 4.3 yet to make a significant dent". The book attempts to provide an illustrated guide on what you can do and how to do in 'on Android' but many of the Android 4.3 phone screenshots did not match what I saw on my Android 4.2.
