It was light on detail, and heavy on “don’t worry be happy” XP-isms.

Nonetheless, a good read.

I didn’t read the “why scrum works” sections. I’ll have to get to those some day soon.

Sometimes obtuse, but always damn good.

My favorite quote so far is from, of course, Person, while they’re waiting to go through of Nasiriyah:

“You know that feeling before a debate when you gotta piss and you’ve got that weird feeling in your stomach, then you go in and kick ass?” he says. “I don’t have that feeling now.”

A machine gun rattles up on the riverbank.

“Stand by for shit to get stupid,” Person says, sounding merely annoyed.

I finished this book and wrote up some notes at http://www.drunkandretired.com/2005/03/notes-on-blink.html.

There was a lot of “extra” sections in this book, but the user stories parts were excellent.

This was good, but a little too low-level. I gave up about half way through. Did I miss anything?

So far, it is an exciting book like the cover-blurbs say.
