Summary: More of an advertisment than a data mining book
Comment: If you have any knowledge of data mining then this book is a disappointment. It seemed more of thinly veiled advertisement for the software included in the book. I can see it having value for the neophyte who might need an introduction that includes software and actual examples, but professionals should skip it.

Rating: 4
Summary: A great starting point for those interested in Data Mining
Comment: This is a well written and interesting book on a complex topic. I especially appreciated the first four chapters, which provide a good overview of estimation and classification, and chapters 10 through 12 which describe the main algorithms, training and testing and troubleshooting.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent review of data mining methods
Comment: This was the text I've been looking for over the last year. It is organized in a very logical manner, first outlining the foundation knowledge necessary to begin understanding the data mining field. It then proceeds to outline the methods and models driving this exciting new field. My only complaint is that the CD Rom at the back requires a non-toll free phone call to get the necessary password before you can use the software, and then only for a finite period of time. But its of little significance compared to the wealth of information contained in this book for both experts and novices.
