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>".
