This was a weird one. From the strange hodgepodge of topics to the explanations themselves, it was hard to believe I'm not reading someone's blog or a self published book.
There were typos, errors, bad practices... like non-synchronized access to a lazy singleton instance after talking about how great singletons are in multi-threaded environment, or using strings instead of an enum in the factory example and a myriad of others.
Some of the examples meant to demonstrate given patterns felt completely nonsensical. The text is not much better, often being rather confusing and turning into a weird word salad. I understand there's some language barrier going on and I'm not a native speaker either, but this is where a proper editor was supposed to step in. I've heard that this is a step Packt loves to skip, though.
If you must find a use for this book, perhaps it could serve as a catalogue of things you should learn elsewhere.
Also what's up with fakespot putting this book at 100% untrustworthy reviews?

This book is OK as a refresher. Other than that, I must mention that the book is not concise and is repetitive to an annoying degree. Finally, it is full of grammatical errors (literally dozens).

Great book which explains basic concepts in clear manner. However, I would like to see more code examples on "Behavioral pattern" chapter.
