Well, I've perused it in a bookstore, and rejected it summarily.
It appears to be a fairly high level intro to OO in typical cookbook/
tutorial style.  Fine if that's what you want, but for a much better
implementation see BOOCH's book.

It adds imitation koans at the heading of each chapter;  it is a cheapening
of the tradition of either "The Tao of <meme>" or "Zen and the Art of <meme>".

 I am reading this book and find it is a good book for those interested
 in OO ideas, before fully learning an OO language.

 The book give examples in both c++ and object pascal.

 Good reading to get the jist of the idea of OO thinking.
