I really liked this book. I felt that it could have been organized a bit differently, but other than that it was very good read. By the end of the book I had a good understanding of Assembly Language, and was able to do a lot with the language.
Decent book about Intel architecture/assembly. Very appropriate for undergraduates, especially at my school (SUNY Old Westbury) where they really should've assigned me this book...
