Summary: one of the best
Comment: This text manages to strike a good balance between theory and practice. Device operation is covered in considerable detail, and so are their applications. When deciding on a rating, I'm comparing this book to Analog IC Design by Grey, Meyer, et.al and to Art of Electronics, by Horowitz and Hill. These two books are considered the best in the field, and Sedra/Smith manage to present the material on the par with these two, but give more device operation theory than Horowitz/Hill and somewhat more applications then Grey/Meyer. Personally, I like all 3 books and have them all.
And for people who give bad reviews due to lack of spice integration, typos, and other minor nuances: no book is ever perfect. For example, Grey/Meyer don't cover MOSFET analog switches, while Horowitz/Hill barely go into device operation at all -- they just give rough equations and rule-of-thumb tips. Yet these two books are still considered great. I think Sedra/Smith wrote a book on the par with industry standard texts.
I, for one, was able to skip lectures given by my incoherent prof. and learn solely from this book.

Summary: The Bible of Electronics Fundamentals + more
Comment: I have used this book in 3 courses and have seen the transformation of all editions. Having been taught by both authors at the University of Toronto, I can easily say that they both have an unparalleled grasp of microelectronics and where it is headed. At first it may seem a bit daunting but I do not know any student that doesn't always refer to it. It's value lies in the fact that it was written, revised and designed in a University environment where feedback from students and colleagues has made it the most thorough textbook I have ever owned. It is definitely THE book to read if you wish to understand the fundamentals of electronic design, both from a theoretical and practical point of view.

Summary: Want A grade?
Comment: This book is the best book that suite your Analog Electronics undergraduate course.It really worths the money.
My advice:if you are an intermideate analog electronics student get this book and give it atleast 40% of your time but if that will not fit your schedule let me tell you that: Sedra is for the student who has time to read and solve tons of problems! it is intended to transfet the mid-level of electrical experiance from the author to your brain (this is why it will cost you time).
If you are looking for shortcuts to not exceed the C grade you can simply find something like Floyed book and suchs!.
you can use it as a ref. for the basics of the material if you are an advanced student who dont have another ref.
