Title: Good but not a classic
Review: I was fascinated by some parts of the book(the chapters on delegates, exceptions & GC are really good), but some of it left me saying "duh". Richter does state the obvious at times, but all-in-all this book has a lot of info that you just can't find elsewhere. I think that the complaint of some reviewers dealing with the "trivial" nature of some of the info is valid, but some of the info is essential for writing tight code(the boxing info. for instance). Richter always brings good common sense to the table, and has a gift for explaning things clearly. I've read other .NET authors who don't.
Is the review positive or negative?
