Computer Organization and Architecture Review by Aquarius
Tough,..... but thorough.
I guess the reviews here says it all already. The text is though to read, and hard to comprehend. Perhaps too technical, or too much (?) details, or not well enoguh structured. Or perhaps it's written in a classic (old-time) style, which does not appeal to todays student/reader. Altough it covers all the classic material and it does have several good figures. High priced. Too much details, too much text, too overwhelming. Students (beginner) may have a though time studying with this book. It might depend just on what course you are following or why you picked up this book. Perhaps it's too overwhelming for most of todays type of studyprograms, where a more general, less deep technical knowledge, of computer is required. It's probably more suiteable for a more classical computer science course, where technical details are expected. But still, with an experienced isntructor to guide the students through the study process, and provide explanation where needed. Also you need enough time, be highly motivated, and seriously interested in the subject. For a less technical approach, or for self study, this book might be too (?) time consuming to read/study. In that case I'd rather recommend The Essentials of Computer Organization And Architecture.
