Well, you wouldn't expect less from Mr. Ritcher, would you?
First things first. This is not a book for the novice. While some of the initial chapters explain basic details of .NET and the CLR (being experienced, you can safely peruse past them quickly), most of the chapters explore the different topics in a clear, concise and, at the same time, deep enough way. The chapter on CLR Hosting is a good example of this. This chapter, as a representative sample of the rest of the book, delivers some deep geek CLR knowledge that most average developers are not aware of at all, with a highly praisable clearness and quality.
Mr. Ritcher manages to make you understand the topics, provides useful examples and, to sum it up, thus makes of his book a very good guideline repository to be kept at hand when developing. Keep in mind, though, this is not a reference book that explains all .net namespaces or anything like that. It is, however, a reference book on some topics, a few of them quite advanced, that any serious developer should review from time to time.
Richter and Petzold are the best!!! ;-)

It's impossible for me to give this book anything less that 5*
As always with software development, the devil is in the details and this ones hotter than Lucifers trident. But then again, with Mr R at the helm, were you expecting anything less?? (Any developer worth his salt will know that's a rhetorical question.) It's ALL exceptional stuff!
In my opinion, reading this book with .NET Fundamentals (Sells/Box) will put you on the path to software utopia - if there is such a thing. And even if you stray from the path your definitely heading in the right direction and will get there eventually.
Simply a must purchase.

By M. Widger
Format:Paperback
As others have said, not ideal for anyone new to C#, but a must for those who have got to grips with the basics and who are looking to progress to the next level.
Everything from the content to the writing style makes this book almost impossible to put down! The chapters on Garbage Collection, Generics and Asynchronous Programming are superbly written meaning that the reader is not clouded with random fragments of information. The rest of the book is just as good.
After reading you will find yourself saying 'so thats how it works' which for a reference book is excellent.
Order a copy now, you will not be dissapointed!

Read the title
It's a book about CLR. It's not C# reference. If you want to know how CLR works under the hood, there is no book like that one! Amazing value! Read more

a must have
A book finally written by a pro, succint, straight to the point, it doesn't waste your time, and has depth. Very practical too.

Superb; and not afraid to tell it like it is
As others have noted: if you're a beginning C# programmer, look elsewhere. Right from the first chapter (which includes IL disassembly!) Richter doesn't compromise. Read more

Thorough, perhaps just not 'the Best'
To be honest, I read large parts of the book, but didn't finish it 'cover to cover' yet. Already now though, I can only agree with all other reviewers praising this book for its... Read more

Excellent Book
For any serious C# developer this book is indipensable. Jeffrey Richter describes advanced CLR topics in a very clear manner. Read more

Richter is the best....
I had the Framework 1.1 version of this book and this new version is just as good. The book should be purchased just for the exception handling section alone. Read more
