Generally Agreed.

Also agreed.  In fact, too bad Koenig didn't write "C++ Traps..." before
Booch wrote his "OODWA" -- Booch falls into the slicing trap in his 
examples.  So, I like OODWA a lot, I think its a great book -- just don't
try to learn C++ from it!  Learn "object oriented programming" from it
instead.
