Customer Reviews

Pretty good value
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.
