Event Processing is one of those concepts that feels intuitive, but abstract. This book explains it very well. Many real-life examples and technical overviews. It was actually pretty fun to read. I was reading this book to use event processing to improve customer engagement. I am even more convinced of its value.

Pretty intense book. Not an easy read (especially for a non-Enterprise Architect). The book was interesting but I would not choose it for light reading.
