An Excellent Book 
This is an excellent book in that it provided many answers to challenging questions I had while working on an enterprise-wide financial DW model--particularly chapter 11 on advanced dimensional modeling. In all, complements the Kimball books very well.

Too Pedantic 
I ordered this book based on some of the reviews, but then returned it. It is too pedantic; it sounds like a college professor lecturing at great length to his students, with a lot of fluff. Plus the price was too steep for a book in this category - $71?
I'm sticking to the excellent Kimball series of data warehousing books

A great tool... 
Maybe not as complete as the Data Warehouse Toolkit (Kimball Group), but a more "business like" approach that is very interesting. A good compendium especially if you want to clarify and/or confirm concepts you've heard about.

Keep this Book at Your Desk-if you can afford it!
A great companion to books by Kimball and Inmon. Helps to clarify some areas where they may be vague or confusing. Includes info from other BI industry thought leaders. Used as a textbook at some universities. Loaded with diagrams and tables. Helps to bridge the gap between techies and management.
NOT as techy as Kimball so it won't lead you through a project or show you how to design databases, ETL or BI apps. A little more real-world examples than Inmon. Does not mention Inmon's CIF architecture by name, but it does explain a similar architecture.
A little too Expensive to buy without skimming through it first (go to a local book store and spend 30 to 60 minutes with it before you decide to order).
