Classic Book on Project Management December 31, 2008
No doubt, this is a classic book on project management. May be this is why at places it gets too academic and some times gets into too much details that a beginner can get lost into them. However, there is enough information in this book and very useful information about project management. I agree with another reviewer that don't try to fit it with the PMBOK guide, because it will not. It is a very usefull book in the overall body of project management knowledge.
 I use it as consult book December 24, 2008
I use to read information from this book when I need to clarify some concept or approach.
The real use cases is a great source of experience.
Strategic guide to strengthening your company's project-management capability August 28, 2008
The ninth edition of Harold Kerzner's substantial, substantive project-management guide offers the comprehensive charts, diagrams and graphs you would expect in a graduate-level textbook, and yet it is surprisingly readable and relevant. Considered by many to be the leading "project management bible" in the planning industry, Kerzner's book is a tour de force. Its 1,000-plus pages, thorough case studies and well-organized chapters empower you to select the areas where you most need to focus. getAbstract recommends it highly to students of the trade, practitioners and executives who want to learn more about managing projects.
 Not very good July 10, 2008

This book is quite bad. You can tell it is the ninth edition because the material does not flow or build upon itself, it contradicts itself from section to section, and fails to use the same terminology from one section to the next. The questions at the end of the chapters often have nothing to do with the content in the chapter and sometimes even refer to non-existent figures or charts, which further leads me to believe that this book suffers from bad editing. Finally, there are literally thousands upon thousands of bullet points in this book (it reminds me of one big boring PowerPoint presentation), so it is really tedius to read. In fact this book put me to sleep more often than not, so if you suffer from insomnia, this might be just what you need.
 Wordy and academic June 28, 2008

This wordy book (1040 pages!) is filled with many unnecessary material. You have to be tortured with pages and pages (poor trees) just to get a few ideas, which makes it boring reading. I am reminded of Economics 101 texts of similar genre where each edition gets thicker and worse by assuming readers know less and less. It is not for intelligent readers.
