Remembered why this is 3 stars, easy to read, accessible....mostly, but author goes off on tangents of deeply bewildering programming in the end, so much, I forget the original problem. This also appears to be a book that shills for the Spread daemon... Which is not in itself a bad thing, but do wonder if some solutions could be dealt with message queueing. A decent book still....
I really did not find this book interesting for the following reasons:
1. Flow of ideas was not clear, I lost context so many times
2. Some ideas are over-illustrated
3. The flow is not smooth
4. Introduced no new ideas, thoughts or eye openers
I might be right, I might be wrong, but I really did not find anything special about this book

What "NoSQL" is to data management, Theo Schlossnagle is to data-center and federated multi-tennant architectures. For good, for bad, for novel insights and resurrected ancient errors ... it's all there, along with a truculent, dismissive attitude.
A bit out of date, but if you're new to IT on anything larger than the one or two server scale, this is a very enlightening read.
This book reminds me of a rambling lecture from a professor who probably knows a lot (it's hard to be sure), but isn't very good at helping anyone else learn. I didn't actually finish this book -- switched to Building Scalable Web Sites instead, which seems much better so far.
Great intro to many topics you should always keep in mind. Some of the technology mentioned is outdated but the techniques still apply.
Fantastic book. Packed with useful information for real-world sysadmins.
