Lacks focus
Rated out of 5 stars, January 12th, 2010
This book is hardly suitable as an introduction to cloud computing for anyone. Fingar's objective is similar to Carr's (The Big Switch) which mulls over the impact on business and society instead of providing an overview of the subject. Unfortunately it doesn't compare well to Carr's writing style.
Reading is difficult. You need to to wade through long quotes and follow the author's thought processes which are blended with distractions. Take heart. It is a short book with loads of white space and pictures so you wont't suffer for very long if you don't like it.
If you do have the patience to read diligently then there are actually some interesting facts and details that you might learn. I did.
