As a caveat I'll state that I'm only on chapter 5, but so far I think the boook isgreat. It's exactly at the level of detail and higher level abstraction that I need at this point in time.

I'm in the process of starting to gather details for my first cube and the book is giving me lots of things to think about. How to handle slowly changing dimensions, how to interpret the new features in BIDS2008. My attitude to the book may change when I start to design and create the cube, but right now I'm really enjoying reading this book. How many BI books can that be said about? I've read the wiley books and they always seem to point to another book for the details I needed and after 4 books that started to get a little annoying.

Maybe in a month or two I'll come back and write a second review when I finished reading.
