Summary: Comprehensive and well-written
Comment: Having worked for an organization that has implemented a model-driven architecture technology approach to create highly robust software applications I can attest to the practical value of translatable models and the information and techniques in this book.
I have always been a fan of the rigor and completeness of the Shlaer-Mellor methodology and this book distils this rigor into a profile of UML that hopefully will inspire a wider audience to look at the reality of creating executable and translatable models.
I found the book extremely well written and very complete in its treatment of every aspect of the subject from basic UML ideas through to model compilers. Unlike many technical texts I found absolutely no fluff in this book - each sentence and section has been carefully worded to be clear, consistent and unambiguous - a breath of fresh air for a pedant like myself.
I have used this book (along with Leon Starr's "Executable UML: How to Build Class Models") as a reference for my course development work on executable UML and found it invaluable. The table of contents and index are complete and well put together - something that I feel is crucial in any reference text.
I highly recommend this book for anyone using UML for software development who wants to explore this new technology of building executable and translatable models - and have it explained clearly and comprehensively.

Summary: Author correction
Comment: The review from "A reader" is erroneous. There is no review from "Leon Brooks," so it is unlikely there is any business relationship with a non-existent person.
I imagine "A reader" meant Leon *Starr* who runs an entirely separate business from those run by either of the authors. Sure, we talk and refer business each other's way, but that is to be expected. Please delete "A reader"'s review.
(If you know Leon, you'd know he says what he really thinks, even if--especially?--it's bad!)
Rating: 1
Summary: Shame!
Comment: Leon Brooks works for the company pushing the product described in this book. It's poor form to give it a five-star review without mentioning this interest, which appears like bias.
