Rob, Good job!

Apart from some grammatical mistakes here and there, I think the review was overall very good. It wasn't too long, and not too short. From the sounds of your review of the book, this book would definitely be on my wish list (at amazon).

I liked the fact that you specified, what should and shouldnt be in the book. For example, the starting off VS.NET features chapter, ofcourse is not really required. After all people do know what VS.NET is already. The other chapters as it seems to me, do involve diving right into code, and some good examples, which is a definite bonus.

Lastly, something I always like in reviews, are the reviewers opinion on who should and shouldn't buy this book. (i.e. who the book is aimed towards). Although the writers usually do this in the foreward, it always helps to know.

Overall I give the review an 8.5 out of 10.

Cheers mate.
