Summary: Combines practical metrics and academic theory
Comment: Research findings in the field of software measurement are thoroughly reviewed. Both traditional and object-oriented product metrics are examined. Methods for determining the mathematical validity of metrics area assessed in the chapter on "A Rigorous Approach to Metrics". Intriguing presentation of cognitive complexity models including an analysis of programming tasks, code chunks, and code landscape.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent comparisons of many metrics suites
Comment: First of all, this is a tough book to read. No doubt about it. Second, it is worth the effort. The book goes over metrics in general (like Fenton & Pfleeger) and then into program metrics for structural systems. It then compares many of the metrics proposed by other authors and compares them (this is the best part). Mr. Henderson-Sellers then proposes his own suite. What is great about this book is that if you don't agree with the author, other suites are listed (with references). Pick and choose your own metrics program. While the book is expensive for its size, chapter 6 alone is worth the money. It is not a how to, but more along the lines of an academic look at metrics. Don't get me wrong, this is NOT just a theory book. It can be applied. If you're looking at what metrics you want for OO, this book should be your pick.
