Review of Professional Assembly Language Posted

Amazon.com just posted my four star review of Professional Assembly Language by Richard Blum. I reviewed one of his other books seven years ago: Network Performance Toolkit: Using Open Source Testing Tools. From the review:

I read Professional Assembly Language (PAL) by Richard Blum because I wanted to become somewhat familiar with assembly language. Books like "Introduction to 80x86 Assembly Language and Computer Architecture" by Richard Detmer or "Introduction to Assembly Language Programming: From 8086 to Pentium Processors" by Sivarama P. Dandamudi seemed too dense and textbook-like to meet my needs. PAL, on the other hand, appeared very practical and focused on getting readers working with assembly language early in the text. As long as you understand the nature of PAL and the author's goals, I think you'll enjoy reading the book as much as I did.
