Rating:  - Refactoring is needed on the book
I agree mainly with all the comments below 3 stars. The book could be "refactored" in less than 50 pages. I am also surprised with the high ratings of the book.
Do not buy the book! It just says: "setup a test harness for your code and then improve it without fear". I think it is a beautiful idea. However, you do not need to read 500 pages for that.
Rating:  - Great Read
I was in a situation where I had to mentor some junior developers overseas on a month long refactoring effort. Having this book as a ready reference point really helped in getting started and organizing my thoughts and approach. Easy to read and well organized, this book is a must-have to hone the craft of creating good code.

Rating: - Most Useful for People engaged in Post Imp Environments
This is the most practical book for people involved in Post release / production support projects still reporting bugs and in dire need of refactoring. Project with bad Code albeit working code are toughest to refactor, even peers are scared to touch anything which has been working. Martin Fowler's insight gives all that there is to know about refactoring. Thanks Martin for your insights. Keep up the good work.
