Summary: This is not a book; it is a disgrace to Science
Review: 1. I never read anything as poor as this book in my whole life.
2. I advise author to get another field of interest for writing.
3. He should write in his native language or use a translator.

Summary: For beginners only
Review: A good book if you want to know the basic concepts related to Neural Networks, but not recommended for advanced readers.

Summary: A book to take a look at the world of Neural Networks
Review: A practical book, this work is aimed at the beginner reader who intends to take a look at the world of neural networks and pattern recognition. The author concentrates on Backpropagation Networks (BPN) as the most commonly used neural network model, which adds to the book's overall clarity and focus.

Summary: Poor text; misleading for beginners.
Review: I am an expert that has read numerous presentations of artificial neural networks -- for beginners as well as for experts. I cannot remember ever seeing a more misleading presentation than the one provided by this book. The grammar is poor and the principles are poorly presented. Understand, I don't give poor marks for its basic simplicity; I object to the poor, misleading presentation. Simplicity and accuracy are essential to a clear presentation of this topic and the goal of writing a simple text is a worthy one, but you will find much better material in other books...Awwww heck, you can find better material through a simple Google search. Just remember this quote from Albert Einstein: "Things should be made as simple as possible -- and no simpler."

Summary: A book that was beyond my expectations
Review: I am not an expert in Neural Networks. As a matter of fact, I just wanted to know what it was and have an idea of the matter. As everybody say this is a hard subject to learn, I just bought the book pretending to understand something. For my surprise, I was able to read the book and now I can say I know something about artificial neural networks. The only thing I can say is that it was beyond my expectations. As far as I'm concerned, it is a recommended book to read for the ones, like me, who want to introduce themselves into the worls of nets.

Summary: Fulfil my expectetions!
Review: I choosed to buy this book because I was searching for an easy-to-read introductory book about artificial neural networks. I haven't got an idea about NNs and this book help me to understand the basics. I liked very much author's writing ,using simple words and not so much mathematic terminology. I think it's a helpful tool for those who just want to understand what NNs are.

Summary: Not worth buying
Review: I fully agree with HENRY970 from South Africa. Bosque has no idea about how to structure a book or a chapter. Please don't waste your money and time.

Summary: Do not buy this book!
Review: I thought I'd found THE introductory book regarding neural nets.
The concept is perfect, the info is all there, but the book
style and poor english is incredibly difficult to read and
follow. Considering the technical nature of the subject matter and the
fact that the author is not english speaking one would think
that the draft would have been edited and checked by english
speaking editors. This was not the case here. Steer clear - I found this book horribly frustrating to read
(I still haven't finished it). Almost every single sentence
is marred by stuttering semantic and grammatical errors. Bitterly disappointing - and published by an American company...

Summary: Call this a book?
Review: I was disappointed with this book. First off, an English editor was sorely needed for this book. Although you can get though it, if you're going to write a book, come on, get someone who speaks the language to review it. Content wise, its more like a technical article you would find in a magazine. Not a whole lot of content. 50% of the book (which is only just over 100 pages) is vb source code. I've read other beginning books on the subject and this one is far too light even for someone new to the topic of neural networks.
