Rating:  Summary: Boring and useless Review: This is a useless book. There is nothing useful in it. A lot of theory, but almost nothing about aplications. It was very difficult to read and very boring. The worst thing, is that I didn't learn something useful. The code examples are stupid! Honestly, I lose my money with this one.
Rating:  Summary: OPERATING SYSTEMS: INTERNALS AND DESIGN PRINCIPLES 3RD ED. Review: This is the driest book I have ever read. Contrary to what some reviews state, this is NOT a book for beginners. It is very wordy and hard to understand. This book assumes an advanced level of knowledge (computer science) and written as such. It is not an introductory book and is very comprehensive. At times, information is presented in an obscure manner. If you are the type of person that needs to have something explained in a cut and dry manner and do not like deduce the answers yourself, you will not follow this book. Save this one for the Computer Science majors.

Rating:  Summary: Too many nonsense for introductory book Review: this is the worst book that i have encounter in my life. i have been looking for a book as a supplimentary for my OS course, however this book failed to deliver to give understantable examples and teory. I agreed that this book have a lot to offer, packing with a lot of examples and illustration but none of them make me feel usefull. in other word, IT IS USELESS. What i want is a book that can give a simple way of teaching to the subject and not a book that trying to confuse the readers.finally, i strongly not recommend this book for those who are looking a simple and easy to understand OS reference book. this book make me feel stupid!
