Summary: High Fog Index
Comment: I was looking for a simple, direct description of Smalltalk. The author's writing style was a bit hard for me to follow. Here is an example "In fact, you don't even get to know that $150 are ensconced within the object. That information is held privately within the object, inaccessible to your prying eyes". I would recommend 'Smalltalk 80' instead of this book.

Summary: Fascinating book, really teaches OOP
Comment: Ok, its not THAT old, but software moves fast. And Liu was downplaying 'implementation inheritance' before most people understood that there was a problem with it. One of the few books out there that really explains objects, why they work, and how to work with them without shooting yourself in the foot. The book is honest about where objects work, and is not a 'rah-rah objects rock!' type book at all. Liu uses smalltalk as the language to discuss object oriented programming and design, but this is not a book just for Smalltalkers (although it does introduce you to smalltalk).
Rating: 5
Summary: Clear and succinct
Comment: I found this book because I wanted to learn Squeak (a dialect of SmallTalk) and I bought it because it rated so high on Amazon.com. This is the best technical book I have ever read. It is clear and succinct. Its IBM SmallTalk examples ran fine on Squeak (GUI component examples excepted) and its clear style made me understand a lot of concepts that were taught to me years ago, but that I never really understood until now.
