 Rating:  - Great concept, poorly writtenI read this book 3 years ago, and DDD has been my preferred design concept ever since. However, I have to agree that this book uses a highly sophisticated language, which is very difficult to read for a non-native English person. Also the book is way to long. I wrote an internal summery, which is about 10 A4 pages, and it contains all key concepts about DDD. This book should have been no more that 200 pages. The thing is that DDD is actually a very easy concept, but this book makes it overly complicated, and the concepts drowns in unnecessary details. Also the book lacks examples. There is almost no code. A sample solution, would make a big difference. Today there is a few online resumes on the Internet, which is much better that the book. 5 starts for the concept DDD. 3 stars for this book. Rating:  - A must have for developersWhat can i say...this is a fantastic book. It's about getting back to basics and understanding what your trying to build and sharing a common language. The patterns described in the book are very helpful and i have already started to implement some of the recommendations. Buy this book..it's worth it. If your worried about it being a length read, you can go to the domain driven design site and they have a concise version of the patterns to read. But I highly recommend that you get the book and read it from cover to cover. Rating: - BrilliantIf your doing, or thinking of doing DDD, then you should certainly read this book. The writing style is excellent, the ideas are interesting, the persentation is superb and (most importantly) good examples are provided along the way. Rating: - The best software design book I own.I dont think I could possibly disagree with the previous review any more. This is, IMO, the best software design book I have ever read. It is certainably the one that has had the greatest effect on my software design. The book is written superbly. Eric breaks down various parts of the domain into categories and describes what they are, their benefits and relation to the whole picture in a way that just makes sense. I have used the techniques and they simplify the design and make it possible to go straight to a domain expert and take software instead of having to talk 2 seperate languages. I dont find the book hard to read at all, and im not overly educated. If you want an example of hard to read, GangOfFour; a fantastic book but not easy reading. This book is written well, full of experience and well worth a read. 100% recommended. Rating:  - Complex EnglishI wanted to read on the subject "Domain-Driven Design" and I saw references to this book in Martin Fowlers "Patterns on Enterprise Application Architecture" The first thing that you will notice as a non-native English person is that you have the impression that the script has been correct by several PhD's in English literature. A lot of words have been replaced by far more complex synonyms. I have lost a lot of time re-reading a lot of sentences and looking up English words just to understand the construction of the sentences, and by the way I am referring to non-technical words. My English is far from perfect but during my career I have done lots or reading of technical books and this is the first time I had problems with the used English. Because of this I had to give up after reading 1/3 of the book. I don't blame Eric or the reviewers of the script for the fact that they are so talented in their native language. "I've come to my current specialty by a winding path; several threads converged to give me a viewpoint that couldn't have been planned. Of course, I can fit it all neatly together now, through hindsight." Seriously, I have to read this several times after looking up words like converged and hindsight. If you write a book that is intended to be for an international audience that didn't study in the UK or the USA don't assume that they have an expert knowledge of the English langauge and have the book reviewed by someone that didn't study in the UK or USA. Because I didn't finish the book however I cannot say whether this book is worth reading or not. Ongoing from other reviews and blog entries I have to conclude that if you are a native-English person you should definitely give this book a try!
