Summary: All about managing software engineering projects.
Comment: I am a software project manager and owns a few books on both the managerial and technical aspects of software engineering.
This book will not give you a specific process to follow for your software engineering projects and needs. It will not give you technical solutions to common software engineering technical problems either.
This book is about the "art" of software engineering and what methods, tools and techniques exist today to achieve success in managing software engineering projects. I believe the people giving bad reviews were actually looking for something either more technical or more specific to a process.
The book is clearly written. The format is very effective and the information is presented well (icons for advice, quotes, recommendations...). The layout is very convenient and I think there is a lot of information available. I agree that it is a little too pricey and maybe missing a few areas of software engineering. But the foundation are there.

Summary: Pretty bad textbook.
Comment: I'm a software developer with almost 15 years experience. I'm taking a M.S. level class that uses this book, and I have to say that it's a horrible textbook. Although it imparts some useful knowledge, you will constantly find yourself looking for supplemental information on the Internet. There is not enough information supplied in the textbook to do the assigned homework! Explanations are sometimes jumbled and incoherent. Examples are extremely sparse--if you're lucky, you'll get 1 example of a particular topic, but most of the time you get none.
I am very disappointed with this book. I can't imagine how this book has become so prominent in the software engineering world. Only in academia, I guess...
Rating: 2
Summary: Very Dry, lacks major examples
Comment: The book is extremely dry and is very wordy. There is a lot of information present and the subject is rather dry to begin with, but this book still falls short. It also lacks examples of major documentation (requirements definition, requirements specifcation, etc.)
