An easy to read book for a senior manager, but is extremely repetitive. The book has a few good ideas but could be written more clearly in a shorter 100 page volume. If you need technical details look elsewhere.

This book gives the reader the ability to read any chapter as a stand alone entity making it possible to make sense of any chapter without having to read the book from cover to cover. Good book.

The author has some good ideas about data warehousing - especially interviews to gather end user requirements. Unfortunately, this book is written in such a casual, conversational, and, frankly, sloppy style that shortly into the book, reading it becomes practically unbearable. I have found that other technical books from the publisher of this book are well edited. It seems, though, the editors were MIA for this one.

I cannot believe the lack of depth. What could have been written in 100 words, the author has dragged on and on.

Look for a book which focuses on particular tools, rather than a general book like this. This was a waste of time.
