Title: Not an introduction
Review: This book is a very difficult read and not for novices. I bought it when I needed to understand UML for the first time and I am afraid that it failed my expectations. In the end I forced myself to speed read through the whole thing just to get some kind of overview. I suspect some of it penetrated my subconscious, but not a great deal, since a large portion of the book is bulleted with incomplete sentences. I now use it as it was intended to be used, as a reference guide, for which the book partially succeeds. Even so, I have not found a single UML book that is both informative and exciting. They are usually one or the other.
