Summary: Bridging the Gap
Comment: As a student taking a technical look at computers from a non technical background this book dances the fine line of too little detail, and being too technical. I recomend it highly, and use it frequently as a reference around the office.

Rating: 2
Summary: Too hard!
Comment: The is the required textbook for one of my papers( i was doing Software Engineering program), I found it is hard to understand and there are few example, even if there are some examples, i just cannot understand,quite confusing! I finally gave up that paper and changed to another program :P
Maybe you should find this book quite easy.
It's not my cup of tea though!

Rating: 5
Summary: Complete, Thorough, and not for Beginners
Comment: This book extensively covers the topics in depth, and does a good job at making a complicated subject easy to understand. While for the most part Irv does a good job of communicating technical material in an easy to understand manner, you can only simplify technical details so much, and this book is certainly not for beginners.

After taking the author's class in the subject, I've come to understand that by the end of the book you might hate the author, but at least you'll learn something. One of the more challenging subjects, but you can learn a great deal from this book. Because it's a book in architecture, however, it's important to keep in mind that a great deal of this book is theoretical and not specifically practical to everyday computer usage.
