Book Reviews of Modern Database Management (9th Edition)
Book Review: Lots of coverage but hard to read
Summary: 3 Stars
This review is for the 9th edition.
On the positive side, this book covers a lot of ground and is very thorough. So kudos to the authors for putting together such a large amount of information in this book. Obviously they have a very good understanding of the subject.
However, I did not find the book easy to read, and I'm trying to determine the reason for that. I think it is because the book has been written in a very factual manner, i.e., it seems to narrate facts after facts.
Some of the best books I have read, are in a story telling format where the authors are such masters of the topic that they will lead the reader on a journey. The authors will gently lead the reader to independently arrive at the conclusion that they always intended. And that's when the reader will have a "wow" moment in deeply understanding the subject.
So while this is a good book providing very relevant, practical and recent information in this field, in my opinion, this book is not one of those where you will have that "wow" moment.
