Boon to Ritalin industry September 4, 2008

You can pretty much judge this one by its cover. It's very shiny and contains a grammatical error right in the title. Nearly half of the book is occupied by graphics and other visual aids. Personally, I felt like I was developing ADD reading this book. I was constantly being diverted away from the text by figures that more often than not added nothing of value. The book is fairly shallow and is oriented to young business majors with zero technical background. One positive aspect was that it provided plenty of real-world examples. For those from CS or MIS backgrounds, this is certainly not worth the ~$120; you probably already know half the book already. For business majors I can't judge, although I would consider it to be a light introduction. A must have for connoisseurs of shiny objects.
