Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Sql server 2005 Reportin Service, Brian Larson
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! This is a book seems to be targetting retarded. There is a chapter on datbase concepts - if some one does not know, it is unlikely they will be reading reporting services. Too much fluff and descriptions are buried in the fluff. If you skip the fluff, you may find yourself difficult to connect dots. Too much details on formatting fonts, colors which is completly useless.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Save your money....
There's obviously 2 versions of this book: Version 1 uses the Adventureworks data; Version 2 uses Galactic Shipping data.....Installing the Galactic database and info is IMPOSSIBLE!!! Make sure you get the first version or you will truly be sorry (like I am!!!)....Other than that, the book is great.....but finding the download and installing it is truly more trouble than it's worth.......BEWARE!!!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good textbook, poor reference
I agree with others who say this book is fine as a text but a poor reference. The best way to use this book is read it cover to cover, work out the examples at your computer and take your own notes, because the structure of the book just doesn't lend itself to use as a reference. There is a lot of good information here, but it isn't easy to use outside of the context in which it was written.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Data Analyst
Very good book. It is easy to learn how to create Reports when you go through the samples in this book.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Application Specific Step by Step Book I Have Ever Read
Again, this is the best hands on how to book for a software application I have ever read. Though before I explain the reasons why I feel what makes this book so great, please allow me explain those things that often times make a "how to" book not so great. Things that Brian thankfully avoids.

Please note that the only negative reviews you will find amongst all the reviews here on Amazon are a result of those who bought the book expecting it to be a topical reference followed by code ... Read More
