Rating: - Great way to learn XSLT
The book is easy to understand. There are plenty of examples and the exercise help reinforce what you learnt. The two negatives are: it's not XSLT 2.0 and the printing and binding of the book is poor. It is still a good way to learn XSLT. It would be great to have a study group guide.
Rating: - Great Book for Beginners
If you know absolutely nothing about XSLT, this is the book for you. Very straightforward. I got through the first week (7 chapters) in about a day. You could easily read and understand most of the content in this book in less than a few days. Great for anyone wanting to pick up the language quickly. For advanced users, this is probably not your book.
Rating: - Fantastic Examples
Some PROs and CONs...
Pros:
Topic flows very well. Author was able to explain each topic without asking reader to refer to upcoming forward chapters. Best part of this book are the examples. They are relevant and short and sweet enough to understand. Best of all, there are lots of examples. The author doesn't just slap them on the page and tell you to figure it out yourself. The author walks the reader thru them.
Cons:

To complete the book's lessons, you'll need to download and install one of the free XSLT parsing engines listed in the book. Alternatively, I used the jEdit free text browser and its associated XSLT plugin to run the examples.

Rating: - Best for BEGINNERS !
Best book to start out with XSLT;
quickly takes you to the point where you can put knowledge from the book to work;
ALSO - it is very easy to follow the Book on the road BECAUSE it explains exactly what each line of code in examples does;
Very thourough analysis and not much mumbo-jambo (as in xslt for dummmies book)
