5.0 out of 5 stars Honest and friendly, 4 Dec 2004
By Viv Everest (Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Unlike many books on structured methods, this book exposes the silliness, explains the jargon and provides good examples of many of the diagram types. It includes enough history of the "three amigos" for the reader to understand the background of the creation of the method and helpfully points out the new and changed elements in UML 2 for those who want to know this level of detail. It is written in an easy to understand style with jokes along the way to keep everything light and friendly. It even has a cheat sheet at the front for the symbol and line types that will be encountered. UML does not lend itself to easy explanation and there are points that may not be 100% clear, but compared with the vast majority of books on this topic, I recommend it wholeheartedly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book on UML, 6 Jul 2006
By cubed (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book is absolutely superb. It is better than spending 3 years at Uni trying to learn UML (trust me, I've done it).

It teaches you EVERYTHING on the UML2 language and it does in such a way that you actually find it hard to put it down. Its very easy to read and understand and I would strongly recommend it to anyone wanting to know about UML. Forget all the other books that look more 'professional' - thats all they do, they only look it. This book has the real substance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Flawed, 20 Dec 2006
By Tim Moore - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was a newcomer to UML but I had good OO understanding coming into this book. I read it cover to cover to make sure I did not miss anything. Unfortunately I found this way of navigating the book to be quite dull; worse still I often could not follow the rationale for the many types of diagrams. I would have appreciated more explanation on the relative merits of one diagram or another, how they are similar and how they are different, the book sometimes gives you the impression you should do them all.

Most damning though is that, as far as I can tell, there are numerous small mistakes in the diagrams. These mistakes often include wrong arrowheads or dashing of lines, text that does not match the explanation & mislabelled figure numbers. There are also too many grammatical mistakes in the main text.

I'm guessing that >95% of it is factually correct, but I expected a higher standard.
