Queuing theory is not that hard once you get it, but this book doesn't seem to be ideal for beginners. I would recommend FUNDAMENTALS OF QUEUEING THEORY, instead. For those who already know some queuing theory, I guess this book would be okay. Personally, I gave it three stars, but I won't argue with people that rate it higher.
