Summary: You've got to be kidding me
Comment: I picked this book up at a local bookstore and quickly returned
it. The fact that it is a "collaboration" between several authors
contributes to the disjointed flow between chapters. It is more
like a collection of small essays than a concise book on EA.

You'd be better off finding another book on RUP (Rational Unified
Process). The treatment in this book is incomplete and will leave
the beginner confused. I found the editing to be substandard---but
perhaps the editor had no experience with RUP and those issues
slid on by.

You might want to find another source for RUP information.

... Caveat emptor.

Summary: Good introduction
Comment: This is a good introduction to the field of enterprise architecture. It generally doesn't go into technical detail, so anyone should be able to get something out of it. Also, it is to the point and so mercifully short. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is that the book has six authors and it shows. There is no red thread running through the chapters, even if the chapters themselves are good.

Rating: 5
Summary: Extremely helpful
Comment: This book was extremely helpful in grappling with company wide information architecture issues. A must have for all IT managers.
