Review: One of these books that make you feel confident with your skills - I consider this one as a basic reference on my bookshelf. While I found GoF very useful as one of this books that make you think and show you the way to your programmer's career when you are not very experienced, Fowler's book adds the enterprise touch in a way I enjoy each time I get back to the book. I tells you about those many things in real life applications that you may have not come across yet and you need to develop carefully when you are working in a big project. The enterprise approach to patterns is light but described in a rigorous manner. I must confess I enjoy these books that are not tied to a given version of a given language much more than the rest. The information you get is more open and you get a better understanding of the big picture. If this one doesn't become a timeless reference (the way our profession changes I wouldn't dare to say so from any book), it will sure stand as a classic of its era.
Review: Excellent descriptions of common architectural patterns - Martinn Fowler describes in turn many of the common software architectural patterns using a combination of high-level description, code samples (mostly in Java) and suggestions about when to use and when not to use each pattern. The text of the book is consistent and logical in its presentation with plenty of cross-referencing between the patterns. The book is developer-oriented and focuses on principals more than the detailed implementations. As the author states, this is not a software cookbook, The book helps the developer to approach architectural problems with a range of concepts and strategies to solve design problems. It describes the architectural frameworks that can be used to implement systems of different sizes. It is a useful reference book too. I expect I will be referring to it a lot when I am looking for ideas. Only downside was the occasional grammatical error which meant I had to re-read parts of it to understand the text properly. Only a minor issue but surprising in a book of this quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good guide to patterns in application development
*by N***I on 15 April 2014*

Gang of four is a classic reference to this material but it it done at a lower level. This is more of a definitive reference on patterns in application development. A must read of developers working with patterns.
