I will not review this book. It's been done. I will just say:
1. It is, to be honest, a better than average book about application development.
2. "Leverage" is not a synonym for "use."
3. Don't split infinitives.

.NET generics are very valuable addition to .NET framework with 2.0 and this book provides detailed information about generics and container issues. As a long time STL user, typed containers brought a lot of value to the framework .I started to be aware of Power Collections library after this book and used in some projects. I would suggest this book to anyone without hesitation.

I have 3 books on my bookshelf at work. "Writing Secure Code", An O'Reilly XSLT Reference and this one. I love it. The style is light and reads very well (unlike most technical books). It's filled with practical examples that do well at both exemplifying the topic at hand and providing a snippet for my own use. The chapters are well laid out and follow the natural order of learning/mastering generics, and they're also strong enough to stand alone for reference when needed. If you work with .NET 2.0 or 3.0, you need this book.

This book sucks, the author seems to have written this book without first getting a thorough understanding of Generics himself.
I read 3 chapters, this book was so frustrating that I stopped after 3 chapters. You are better off reading a C# reference that does a couple of chapters on Generics. You'd learn more than what this book teaches you.

You'll need a good understanding of Programming concepts in general before you start on this book. After that however this is a good way to figure out what Generics are and what they can do for you. Highly recommended for those needing to simplify quite a few repetitive programming tasks...
