Informative and well paced 
However, the price for combining breadth of coverage with depth of detail is that UML-2 represents a great deal of material to cover. UML-2 offers an experience-based improvement over the original UML. Fortunately, UML-2 Toolkit does a good job providing rationale and presenting the material in a straight forward, systematic fashion. It also makes it clear that by no means does every project require use of every type diagram. UML-2 is presented as a descriptive language rather than a design methodology. It is primarily for human to human communication although certain aspects can be automated. .
Always on my desk
The value of the book is in the clear and plain language used to introduce the UML features, as well as in the integration with topics like MDA (Model Driven Architecture), analysis, development methodologies. I found this book a comprehensive guide to the last version of UML language.
The MDA chapter resembles too much the stuff published on the OMG website, and results too abstract in comparison with the rest of the book.
Be careful at the different reading levels allowed by this text: sometimes tiny annotations masks relevant topics!
I always have this book on my desk, and I use it as a reference often.
A very easy to understand and detailed UML book 
This book is very easy to understand, yet very detailed in its approach and provides plenty of examples. For anyone wanting to learn UML, I would recommend this book.
