Format:Paperback
Informal writing style not my favourite but plenty of information, the bits from Arup are good, it's long enough to be useful without being too long to digest.
A handlful of gramatical and technical errors, but I would guess you can find the errata on the publishers website.
Lots of screenshots, though I found some irrelevant and a few "would like to see" shots absent.
A bit after-the-fact now that 11gR2 is out, but for the money this represents a cost effective way to disgest the 11gr1 new features without needing 500 reading hours.

Approachable read, value-directed understanding
19 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback
Other reviewers may have negative opinions, but I think the book is well worth the cost - especially if you bill your time. Yes, the material is covered in Oracle's New Features docs, and yes, this volume is not for either the beginner or the true expert. Remember, these books have to be written well before the new product is actually available, so there are naturally some discrepancies and small errors; these are rather benign in their impact.
However, Freeman has done a great job for those of us "in the middle" who are neither beginners or world-class experts. The explanations and "here's why you care" approach make for an approachable read and a value-directed understanding of the material. The practical tips aid understanding and will save a great deal of (billable?) time.
I would still recommend reading the Oracle documentation, and of course these new features must be tested in the crucible of real environments. But buy the book, enjoy the organized approach and the time you'll save by studying it. I recommend it to my user group and co-workers.

Rushed to production...
14 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
I was a fan of Mr. Freeman, until I read this book.
I bought it along with similar book wrote by Sam Alapati. I started reading this one first as there are big names associated with this book, Tom Kyte and Arup Nanda.
Well, this book was rushed to the printers. It has tons of errors. The examples, diagrams, don't match the description. The explaination is too short or incomplete.
If you are choosing between this one and the Sam Alapati one, then save your money and go for the other one.
I have read both, and the second one is 10 times better than this book.
