Summary: Technical concise readable precise, almost complete
Comment: I thought this book was great. It covers the verilog language in a way that makes it clear exactly how the simulator works, so you can predict the results of your program with confidence. This book is also very clear as to what hardware will be generated by what constructs. The very important difference between latches and flip-flops is fully covered here, as is a full description of which constructs will generate (probably unwanted) latches. This was my third Verilog book, and this was the only one that left me feeling confident as to the extent of my knowledge. This is the only one you need.
The only shortcoming of this book is that the authors decided not to cover every llittle bit of verilog, which would have removed the need to consult the standard. Since the standard is so unreadable, I think that this was a crying shame, but I don't think that this will pose a real problem for most readers. Besides, I haven't seen a credible alternative.

Summary: Had to have my own copy
Comment: Was sharing this book with my workmate. Found it pretty useful. I think its a great reference book to have.
It has
+ A great Index.
+ Good examples.
+ Been written by the masters of Verilog.
- A lot of words (ie some people might find it very 'wordy')
Every ASIC/FPGA designer I know has this one in there shelf. So go for it.

Summary: Could be great book, but shows too many deficiencies
Comment: This book should be used only by the experienced users that can filter out problematic sections.
Major problems:
- first chapter, "recommended" by authors for university courses, is extremely chaotic (begin..end blocks are called loops, exercises ask you to use loops before introducing them, etc.)
- cover of the latest edition claims coverage of the latest Verilog standard - unfortunately it is very poor coverage: new interesting features such as libraries and configurations are not mentioned at all!
- I had to work hard during many trainings to correct bad coding styles showing in students reading this book as their first Verilog publication
- the book is grossly overpriced...
Main advantage:
- good set of examples
