Summary: slight disappointment
Comment: I thought the book should have been interesting, but I expected a little more cuttin' edge topics. At the end of the day I was expecting a "Professional" book. The shipping was really fast.

Summary: Good book, but not what I expected
Comment: I was looking for something that would specifically go over the new features of ASP.NET 3.5. However, at times I felt that the book was going over the same topics I had read in a "Professional ASP.NET 2.0" book. The bits of information that let you know what was new in ASP.NET 3.5 seemed few and far between. It does make sense, since I am of the understanding that 3.5 did not add many new features to ASP.NET. On the other hand .NET 3.0 did add a lot of features and this book covers them quite thoroughly.
My opinion is:
#1 this is a great reference book to have.
#2 If you're already experienced with .NET 3.0 you may find yourself skipping pages to get to topics you're less familiar with.
#3 If you're buying the book to see a topic dedicated to "What's New in ASP.NET 3.5" you will end up having to read through the entire book to find out.

Summary: Solid Book For Advanced .NET Programmers
Comment: I wouldn't recomend this to a beginner programmer, but if you need to get it together on .NET 2.0 - 3.5 then this book is for you. I specifically got it to catch up with the latest .NET functionality for my upcoming programing contracts and it's been very useful.

Summary: Seems like a 2.0 Copy and Paste
Comment: Im never a big fan of the "Professional" series of books because I tend to learn better from step-by-step tutorials with a finished product at the end. the "Problem Design Solution" series from wrox tend to be the most useful to me. These types of books I often feel like I can get the same information, cheaper, from MSDN. I knew that when I got the book but its nice as a desk reference. My biggest issue with this book is that it seemed like it was a 2.0 copy and paste.... there is a lot of reference to 2.0 in the text and it often left me wondering what was specifically new in 3.5.
