Title: Not what you would expect.
Review: I am familiar with writing true assembly language programs for microcontrollers. Granted, while they are very different than PC processors, the fact is that HLA leaves something to be desired. It may have the power of assembly, but it doesn't have the feel. It should have been titled 'The Art of HLA' which would have still sounded good, but would have also given the customer a hint about what is inside the book. I'm going to keep it, but I'm not happy with the product.True assembly is beautiful with respect to form, as there is little abstraction between you and the machine. This way there is no incongruencies between what you want it to do and how you say you want it done.
