5.0 out of 5 stars Better take computer architecture before taking this course

I took a course that referenced this book at the same time as AV computer architecture course. Very brutal challenge, but having so much overlapping material made it master-able. In my opinion take computer architecture first or have the concepts of architecture be mastered first --- it will make OS manageable. Otherwise be ready for a bear when it gets into caching and virtual memory

This is a good book series that gives a different but quite helpful source of information. I purchased these books to supplement the Modern Operating System book I had to buy at my college. This series gives a different, but helpful another view on the subject.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hard reading

This book is too complex, and the ideas from one chapter don't connect with other chapters in an easy way. The exercises are impossible to be done. I really tried to like this book, but it was really REALLY impossible.
