Kindle Edition is broken. Do not recommend buying...

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

Okay, so the kindle version is completely broken. The diagrams and tables shown in the textbook are very necessary to understanding the material; even something like a truth table just shows as TF F FF F TT T, etc.. If you know what a truth table is prior to this, you may be able to decode that. I did not, and diagrams/drawings/depictions of what is described in the text simply do not show up. Google "Assembly Language for x86 Processors PDF" and save your money.

DO NOT buy the e-book, terrible format!

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

the e-book, while convenient, the entire text has clearly been reformatted and is displayed like a novel instead of a textbook. think paragraph after paragraph, new chapter start one line after the previous ended, there are only three font sizes, and tables are not in spreadsheet format, but are also in plain text.

table 1.1 in the photo is a brief example of a 2 column table, 3 row "table" in the e-book format. just imagine how much more confusing that gets with more complex data.

Worse yet, there are no page numbers, so if your professor refers you to a specific page, good luck! as you zoom in and out, instead of zooming in on that page, it adjusts the font-size of the entire book, and makes each "page" come with less text.

While this is suitable for novels, and may just be how kindle works, it's completely useless for school text books. really a shame amazon couldn't do a better job at this kind of thing. The physical book is a great deal easier to read and understand, and I recommend it.

Update: the kindle version is A DIFFERENT VERSION once the book, this is not the exact same book, and there are several differences between working, organization, and graphics.

Figure 2.4 in the kindle version is completely unrelated to graphic 2.4 in the book.

The Key to the Universe

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

I ,like another reader, gave a sub-perfect rating because the answers to section reviews were not in the back of the book (or on the authors website). That helps when you can validate what you've learned. Other than that, I feel that this work is fantastic and it really gave me the confidence needed to make attempts at optimizing C-level source code. I no longer get that empty feeling when I look at assembly source that once made me feel as though there was another universe out there that I could peer into but would never understand its existence.

I don't believe that a book is finished until I've read it cover to cover. I once made an attempt completing this book some years back for a course and just couldn't stomach. Everything was going well until about chapter 6 and then I just sort of tired out. This second attempt was inspired by Michael Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book. After staggering through the first chapter wandering aimlessly, I realized that I'd need to go back and get a better working knowledge of how assembly actually works. So I went ahead and purchased a physical copy (as the first attempt was through e-book) and began to power through chapter by grueling chapter. What I realized this time around though was that it was a lot easier the second time and where I had originally stopped was actually the "Eureka point" where everything started to make sense. No, I haven't completely finished the book yet but I'm well on my way this time and now feel that I can make a solid effort in getting through the black book in all of its 1200+ page glory.

By the way, I've bought probably over 50 books from Amazon over the years (mostly computer books) and this is my first review EVER. I enjoyed it!

Low quality international version strains the eyes

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

International version has low-quality, thin pages. The print quality is not sharp, so it's a strain on the eyes. The ink from the other side of each leaf bleeds through. Page numbers and chapters are different, so good luck following along for class...

This book is incredibly marked up!! I mean, I get that it’s used but come on! It’s so marked up in places that it’s hard to read! For 100 freaking dollars I expected much better! And this is not even the most recent edition! Unbelievable!

Item took a week to arrive; was late. Description said good condition but sections of pages are falling out (no longer glued in). Still will use as I need for school. Have to be extra careful so more pages don’t fall out of book.

Half way through the book and the material is sound ...

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

Half way through the book and the material is sound. My reason for rating it lower is not having the answers available at the end of the chapter. After reaching out, it's apparently since the publisher doesn't want that material to leak since it can be used for college level quizes, etc. Well, i'm not a college student, and i find that being able to validate what i've leared a helpful thing. Without the answers, it's sometimes hard to validate that. They need to find a way to make that work.

A very good intro to x86 ISA and assembly language

Reviewed in India on May 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

Having experience in engineering 32 bit RISC architectures I wanted to understand the x86 CISC architecture, so at first I tried reading from some books on computer architecture but I quickly realized that x86 is very complicated architecture and decided to go the opposite way to understand x86 arch ie. to learn programming in x86 machine language first! I got this book recommended from many online sources as an intro to the x86 ISA, so I grabbed a copy and started reading it, and I gotta say the information in this book is to the point and well structured, from setting up the assembler to encoding x86 instructions it's all included. It's also good for beginners but still would recommend having understanding of at least some basic RISC architecture, there are exercises at the end of each section and also at the end of each chapter, exercises at the end of chapter do not have solutions printed on the back of the book but it's not that big of a deal because you should be confident by the end of each chapter about your understanding, most problems in the exercises are very well structured if you exclude a few from the beginning chapters. Most Problems don't rely on you knowing some specific algorithm to solve them but on the understanding of the content that you have read and that is good, problems that require algorithms are separated from the "test your understanding" problems, most problems require good logical reasoning and get hard sequentially. This book also has very few semantic typos here and there so gotta be a little careful while reading. I have read this book entirely and solved all the problems and I can confidently say this is the best manual style book that has helped me along the way to understand x86 architecture.

Sehr detailliert, gehobenes Niveau

Reviewed in Germany on September 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

Ein ausgezeichnetes Buch. Man wird langsam und mit vielen Übungsaufgaben an die Materie herangeführt und nach jedem Kapitel gibt es Übungsaufgaben mit z. T. unterschiedlichen Schwierigkeitsgraden. Behandelt werden so gut wie alle Aspekte der x86 Assemblersprache: Zahlensystems, Befehle, Register, Stack, Unterschiede 32bit und 64bit, Real mode und Protected Mode, Funktionen, Macros, Win-Api, Schnittstellen zu höheren Programmiersprachen usw. usf. Der Autor liefert eine eigene Lib mit (download), die Einsteigern das Leben leichter macht. Zudem gibt es zahlreiche Beispiele und Übungsaufgaben Online mit Sourcecode zum download. Der Preis ist heftig, aber man bekommt eine ausgezeichnete Lektüre zum Thema. Als Entwicklungsplattform wird Visual Studio verwendet, auf der Internetseite des Autors gibt es zudem eine Anleitung, wie Visual Studio zu konfigurieren ist. Es empfiehlt sich, grundsätzlich mit der Programmierung in einer höheren Sprache (idealerweise C, C++ oder C#) schon Erfahrungen gemacht zu haben, sonst könnte man als absoluter Neueinsteiger mit dem Niveau u. U. überfordert sein.

Great book. Publisher dragged the rating down from a 5

Reviewed in Canada on May 5, 2016

I love the book. It covers EVERYTHING so you won't have any issue with having to get numerous books to fill in the gaps. The extras that you can download are good but the publishers services are absolute garbage. They don't respond to requests for things they offer on the site after 3 months. Some of the downloadable content will complain for files that are only included in the instructor resources and the publisher is no help here. Kip finally responded to me that he would look after it when he got a chance. That was a few weeks ago.
