This book took an enormously long time to read. I kind of disagree with some of the reviews below. In my opinion I think a lot of people do know the ideas of refactoring after awhile of working with different codebases. That said, it's good to have a common language and it's also helpful to have the ideas listed out rather than bottled in one's head.

My only dislike is the way the book is structured. It's so odd... the first few chapters talk about all these different techniques and methods before you even go into it. It's as if I'm being thrown into the deep end for a few chapters then given a life vest rather than being taught how to swim. Either way, if you can push through the first few chapters, then I think it's a solid read.
