Book Reviews can be Scary!
I regularly keep an eye on Amazon in order to keep up with any reviews of my Exchange Server 2007 book. Currently two individuals chose to review it. The first is quite good (5 stars), but the second is pretty bad (2 stars). I think it’s perfectly fine if an individual rates my book with two stars, but please use valid arguments Mr. Art Anderson, honestly I think your arguments are pretty vague to say the least. First you mention that I’m not an expert in my area (fair enough that’s up to a persons individual decision), but then you continue on and says that the book doesn’t cover an upgrade (aka transitioning from Exchange 2003/2000 to Exchange 2007). Well I for sure don’t hope you fell asleep while reading the book, because it seems like he never reached chapter 10…
To everyone who read it, would you please spend 5 minutes on a review here?
Of course only a good one…

I’ll be sure to write a review after I finish reading it…it is just taking a while because I have so many books to read and not enough time! Plus to be honest, my work is not going to be heading to Exchange 2007 anytime soon
Note to self: tread water lightly in the review :p …just teasing

Dear Henrik,
I have not read it (yet)… but as a slight off topic; why is it not available as an eBook?
I find being able to keep several open while pondering a problem a real help!
Especially as IT books are meant to be used, not read and put in the library…

I finished reading your book last week and I am heading to Amazon now to review it. I have been thru three Exchange 2007 books now and I found yours to be very good.
Don’t let silly people like the guy who gave the book a two get you down. Not many people in this world can say they are so knowledgeable in a subject that the can write a book on it (and have it published).

Hi Henrick,
I have not read your book but your articles in msexchange.org are extremely helpful, and an interesting read when refreshing knowledge on Exchange. Don’t be too concerned with a the odd bad review, especially when it is based on facts that aren’t true.

Well Henrik I tried to leave a shinning review but Amazon would not let me since I had reviewed another Exchange book previously.
Sorry.

Thanks for all the postive feedback guys - appreciate it
Mark: Thanks for trying, perhaps it’ll be possible in a couple of days…

Henrik,
I am in the process of using your book to verify my Exchange 2007 installation for security and accuracy. ( I had it fully installed by the time the book came out)
I find that so far it is very easy to read and follow through the steps you’ve outlined. It has been especially helpful in figuring out a couple of the more complex configurations & some of the problems I’ve had. Overall, a very good reference but then again I knew it would be since your articles on this site have helped numerous times.
THANKS for being there to save me from hours of frustration. I appreciate it very much!
