Adrenaline Junkies and Template Zombies: Understanding Patterns of Project Behavior by Tom DeMarco, Peter Hruschka, Timothy R. Lister, Suzanne Robertson
3.0
It's all right.
The problem that this book has is that it's a list of patterns. Each of these patterns stands on its own, but does not feed into an overarching theme. As such, I got the feeling of "yes, I've seen this before" but nothing that told me "ah, this is why this happens." Simply listing things isn't going to lead to any epiphanies, but it's nice to see that some behaviors seem to be universal.
