Because I'm a university faculty member in a Computer Science department and have taught classes containing the subject matter in this book, I received an unsolicited instructor's evaluation copy for review from the publisher.
Frankly, I find it impossible to take this book seriously, not because of its content (adequate) or its quality (looks really nice) or how well it fits my class (fairly closely). It's the PRICE!!!! Why make my students pay $160 for a paperback text when there are so many more (cheaper) possibilities out there? This book should be priced in the $40 range and no higher.
Publishers like Prentice Hall/Pearson should know better. As tuition and fees keep rising faster than a politician's income, we faculty members are doing everything we can to keep our students' costs down, and that means avoiding high-priced books like this....

This book is extremely dull. The case questions don't really seem to get the idea of systems analysis in one's head. The layout is clumsy and hard to understand, and the book is ridiculously priced. $160? For a paperback? This is crazy; you can do all the research online for free! In all my time of using Pearson, Pearson publishers create boring books filled with typos and overpriced textbooks. Do not buy this book; rent if you need it. You will save /so/ much money!

I am more than halfway through the course, and the book is not very good. It seems to only tell you /what/ the steps are in each chapter, not /how/ to do them. One would think you would need both, but, as with most of the Pearson books, it does not. I would suggest that all users of the textbook use it as told, but be prepared to do a good amount of online research.
