As advanced CS books go, this one's a taker.
Excellent content, presented lucidly. Complex matter of course and not written for entertainment but to learn a trade/profession. Good balance of theory and practical examples. Only fly in ointment is the fact that good amount of examples have subtle errors in them. Probably confusing for a student. And I think they have an errata out.

Good Book
The book is very well done, and give a thorough view of the distributed computing techniques and algorithms. The package arrived in perfect conditions
J**L
Very Details and Organized
this book will explain most of the algorithms that related to the distributed computing in details.

waste of money
This book introduces many distributed algorithms. But failed to explain nicely how they work. It just listed pseudo-codes, but explanation is not clear for readers to understand the logic and confusing in many cases. Also in the book, there is an algorithm which authors themselves developed. The author completely failed to explain their own algorithm. The notation of the variables are really confusing too. And it seems that the optimization of the algorithm is marginal given that the technology grows rapidly. Authors don't provide real-world example in which their algorithms are used.If you are looking for a book that teaches you about distributed SYSTEM, avoid this. If you up for ALGORITHMS, this book might help.

A very good organized book
The whole structure of this text is really good. At beginning, the model of distributed system is introduced, which provides me the basic knowledge to reason with the distributed system. Based on this, many fundamental algorithms are introduced. Although the algorithms are given in pseudocode, it makes me understand the wisdom behind these algorithms more directly. After the model and algorithms, various interesting topics in the area of distributed system are introduced. Based on the understanding of previously introduced knowledge, I really find this part inspiring. If you are interested in the area of distributed system, you really should read this book.
