Can't rate it as I read this book very long time ago. But I remember it been mildly entertainig and mostly unpractical. There is too much cultural difference.

When I discovered object-oriented software development in the 1990s, it changed the way I designed and build programs, and especially how I thought about software, changed it for the better. This was mostly through Peter Coad's books and blog.

I could only wish there had been such methods in the air when I started programming a decade or two earlier.
