Introductory book which skips the technical details
Review written by: Anshuman Sinha From Boca Raton, FL United States
A book for someone who is developing first embedded system(s). Limited coverage, but has some good references at the end of each chapter that might be helpful to the reader.

Practically Useless
Review written by: B. Baker From SLC, UT
Maybe it would be beneficial to a marketing team, but I'm an engineer and I found the book totally useless.

A Good Introductory Text
Review written by: Rongkai Zhao From Chicago, IL
This book offers a clear view of the embedded system design process. If you are a newcomer, it can help you clear up the mystery and it is a easy reading. If you have been through a embedded project from ground up, this is not the book for you. Even though I like this book, it lacks of depth and the text closed up in a hurry.

Good for beginners
Good for beginners. Really valuable if you are out of college and in need of directions in this field. The references in the end of each chapter are quite useful. It will give you directions but do not expect any deep/serious discussions about the topics it is supposed to cover.

Good for beginners or undergrade students only
Very good to learn the embedded system world for the new comers.
If you have some experience with project management and know what are the differences between MCUs and development tools, then it is no need to buy it.
