Good VB.NET book

I am just about finished reading 'The Book of VB.NET' by Matthew MacDonald.  I also have his Windows Forms book. 

At first, I was not excited about 'The Book...'.  It seemed rather elementary, with a very slow start.

However, at about the mid-way point of reading it I started liking it.  Matthew writes the way I read, meaning I can learn quickly from the way he writes.  This book is not for folks who have been coding with VB.NET for 2+ years.  I highly recommend it for the beginner or one migrating from VB6 to VB.NET.  The book does not offer a lot of details nor does it go into depth on most subjects.  Having worked with most of the subjects covered, I can say that the book does hit them enough to get one started.   

It has been a quick read for me, however I have picked up some pointers along the way.  If you are new to VB.NET or have been working with it for less than 1 year, grab this book and add it to your bookshelf.
