This book is not for complete novices. It assumes that you have some / basic knowledge of Hadoop and Map Reduce. I would not rely on this book for hadoop installation. There are so many blogs out there for this. So, just have a running installation before you unzip the code from this book.
Also, java seems to be the defacto programming language for this book (as is hadoop). If you are a non-java, python/c/c++ developer and looking for some map reduce examples, just take a quick look at the java api ahead of time. There are small typos on the code blocks here and there. no big deal. Also, would have loved to see some code comments in the code blocks to make things clear for "non-java" developers.
Overall, its a good cook book, if you are already into hadoop and have some basic knowledge of how things work and want to dig deep into more examples. The example code is made available with the book. So, you can make minor "path" changes to the build xml and run the code yourself, so you get a sense of what is described in the book.
