The book does a comprehensive coverage of design patterns.The highlighted lines for each pattern at the beginning and the lines in summary at the end is apt and to the point.The examples are of scientific application and difficult to connect for me.The builder and Template patten used common examples which I could easily relate to.Its worth reading this book even if you are familiar with the design patterns.It may surprise you with its applications, you may have not thought of yet.
