Title: Poor Textbook Choice
Review: I have worked in, on, and around computers for over 33 years. At the not-so-ripe-old age of 51, I have decided to return to college and complete my Comupter Science degree. This book is the text book for the Computer Architecture course.This book is written like a thesis. There is very little explanation or education going on. It is as if the author is trying to convince the reader that he knows what he's talking about (which, no doubt, he does). The book is a poor choice for a college textbook. I know it's been a long time since I sat in an actual college class, but it seems to me that a textbook should make some attempt to enlighten instead of frighten.
