    • Amazing book, terrible quality

The contents of the book is amazing: easily one of the best Computer Science books I ever had. However, the print and production quality is beyond abysmal. For a mere price of $185 I got this amazing book with the pages falling off the book and plenty of pages glued together. The paper quality is also very bad and the Amazon book doesn't come with the student access card that would allow doing online exercises. I started reading this book online but immediately realized I want to have the paper version so that I get more out of it and would be able to read the charts, images etc more clearly. The physical copy is certainly a huge disappointment. ... show more

    • Buy it if you really need it or like the subject very much.
I guess I bought this books for the wrong reasons, being other than to learn the matter -in depth. Nonetheless I can tell the content is very thorough (what would you expect from a 1000+ pages book?) and that mr. Tanembaum a referent is on the OS area. Interestingly enough one of the first insights for the potential reader is that actually most chapters are written by someone else other than Andrew. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that I bought it 2nd hand, and is a bit worn, and had to pay dearly to import it where I currently live . ... show more

    • A must have book!
Great book, well written and covers a ton. Quality of the global edition is perfect. Not going into detail on the content, just wanted to say I have no regrets getting the less expensive global edition. After posting this review for the global edition I see that it shows up for the paperback non-global edition. Looks like an even better deal at $25 vs $50 for the global. Somehow I missed that when I placed my order but was glad to not have to shell out $175 for the hard cover version! ... show more

    • Too theoretical. No implementation.
I think the book is overrated. Note that although it has very good explanation, it doesn't contain any implementation details. My recommendation is "Operating Systems Design and Implementation" by Tanenbaum (same author). The difference of two books ("Modern OS" vs "OS Design and Imp") are 1. Appendix "Modern OS" has case study (still theoretical) of Window and Linux systems in later chapters, while "OS Design and Imp" has C code of Minix in Appendix. 2. Contents "Modern OS" gives more detail explanations and better flow, while "OS Design and Imp" covers only essentials in concise manner. (compact, essential coverage) In general, I suggest "OS Design and Imp" for general audience. I would say "Modern OS" might be more useful, ONLY if the reader have strong low-level programming skills. ... show more

    • Great read
This is how a technical book should be written. It's a nice middle ground for those of us who don't want to read a pure technical book, but has really great information. Definitely better than The Design of the UNIX Operating System. That book put me to sleep after 1 chapter. I think the two books complement each other, but unless you're a die hard Linux nerd or someone who really needs to know the exact details of how the UNIX OS works, I'd recommend Modern Operating Systems. I'm an Android Dev, and there's a great chapter about Android. ... show more
