What can you say? It's a computer book. Was it interesting to read? Generally, no. Was it informative? Absolutely. I would say that it is a good starter book, but it teases you by giving you enough information to make you dangerous, but not nearly enough for to become a DBA. I had as many new questions presented and left unanswered, as I did answred, almost forcing me to seek out the next 500+ page tomb in the series.
