From A Nerd of Nerds

Reviewed in the United States on 2 May 2008

Verified Purchase

I am a nerd. As a student at the end of my Junior year, CS Grads wonder how I know more about topics they studied in 400 level courses than they do. The answer is simple; I enjoy learning. I read texts for fun.

With that in mind, I think this book may be the worst book on OSs that I have seen. It is incomplete and not enjoyable, even to the most enthusiastic student. I much prefer Tanenbaum's book to this.

BYU is dropping this book after using it for one semester of use. I am happy about that, but I only wish I could get a refund. This book is not a keeper.
