Summary: First, always look in the mirror
Comment: I have used this book in my Communications Systems class at Northeastern, though Proakis was not the teacher. I see all the bad ratings everyone gives this book and I wonder why? Maybe they do not have the necessary background to fully understand digital communication? Just maybe...
I liked this book. I used it along with the Matlab book and enjoyed the course. I would have given it a 5* if it had more examples.

Summary: Not an Intoductory Book
Comment: I had this book for my intoductory communication class. Unfortunately this book is not for newbies as claimed by the authors or publishers. If you have previous experience with this subject, then this book may be helpful because it covers a lot of stuff. However if you are not very familiar with this subject, you will find this book unreadable and in some cases mathmatically incomplete. Also in several instances the book makes easy concepts complicated. One of the examples in the textbook which was solved by our instructor using about 5 steps was solved in the book with more than 15 steps. End of chapter problems are insane. I just wonder how the author expects us to do those by giving just a few trivial examples.
Bottomline is that if you have to buy this book because it is required by your instructor, then your instructor better be good and know shortcuts. If you are planning to buy this book for self study then I wouldn't recommend it. Modern Digital and Analog Communication Systems by B.P. Lathi is a better choice as that book is easier to understand and more complete mathematically.
Rating: 2
Summary: Not very readable
Comment: I usually understand concepts more from the book than from the class and a readable book is what prepares me for the exam. I regret to say that this book is not very readable for beginners. The book covers a lot of stuffs but not in great detail. Further the end of chapter problems CAN NOT be solved by reading the examples alone. So unless you have an excellent teacher teaching this class, or you have the basics for this course, stay away from this book.
