This book was good for people who do not know a great deal about data minning. It does not have enough information for people who are involved within this field.

This text is more or less a "popular" introduction to data mining. It is well worth reading and it is well written, but don't expect to become an expert with just this book as a base!

This might be a good book for someone who is either contemplating a career move into this area, or for someone who is professionally affected by data mining and wants a "quick and dirty" as to what data mining can do and what it can't.

Data Mining by Pieter Adriaans and Dolf Zantinge is a very good management overview of data mining techniques. Data Mining is an old book but the technical overviews still stand true.

If you are looking for a technical book this is not the book for you. If you are looking to gain a little knowledge about some basic data mining techniques this book might give you want you are looking for.

A book to read absolutly before to start any data mining project. Very precise and useful. A good support to form new data miners.

I have the book tree years ago. From time to time a like to go back to its pages looking for reference. If you want a good book, not a marketing one, on data mining this is it.

This book is too trivial. There is no coherence. I found it quite difficult to understand as to what the authors were getting at. However, it is one of the first in data mining and therefore the authors should be given some credit.
