Summary: Good starter
Comment: If you don't have any programming knowledge then this is a great book to start with. However if you are an experienced programmer trying to learn assembly then you may find this book annoying in certain parts.
The book does not actually go into assembly langauge until you get past a good number of chapters.This may be a good or bad thing depending on the way the reader likes to learn.
Personally I think teaching pc architecture before going into assembly langauge is a good thing but I also believe the author could have saved a lot of space and still got the pc achitecture tutorial through.
The book also covers 3 assemblers MASM,TASM and NASM but sticks with NASM for the most part. It also covers 32 bit assembly in Linux only.
Overall, this is a good book to learn the basics of assembly language but be prepared to spend money on more books e.g "revolutionary assembly language" and "inner loops" if you want to be a good assembly language programmer.

Summary: Good Intro
Comment: This book filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge about computers in general as well as introducing me to the world of assembly language. I didn't know how much I didn't know until I read this text.
The book is enjoyable and easy to read. If I had it to do over again, this is probably the first computer programming book I would read. The author really explains the concepts in simple terms that are easy for even a novice to understand. I found parts of the book moving along a bit slowly for my taste, but I was certainly able to reatin all the knowlege.
The first 150-200 pages is mostly background. I found some useful morsels of information through these sections, although I was able to read through them quite quickly. Then there's about 200 pages on assembling for DOS and another 120 pages on assembling for LINUX. All parts of the book are relevant to each other.
If you are new to assembly, or want to fill in some gaps in you knowlege this is a great book to start with. If you have programmed in assembly before, you will probably be disappointed with this book.

Summary: Good teacher, but not up to date
Comment: If you have found other assebler books hard to understand, this is something to you. Duntemann could teach even an ape to write an assebler program.
Unfortunately there is too much about DOS and 16-bit segmented mode. More about Linux, please. Assembler in Windows isn't so difficult that Duntemann claims.
It is very pleasant book to read and it catches your attention in very rare way.
