I've had a bit of a run of good PM books, and this one continues the series. It's a very practical view of how to be an effective PM, which obviously has plenty of experience to back up the abundance of salient points being made.
If you're only ever going to read one PM book, you could do a lot worse than pick this one - it really is that good.
