Great translator for the rest 
I bought this book to help me understand the concepts, which this book did admirably. I took a UML class at university and was having difficulty understanding the textbooks. When I showed up in class with this book, the instructor told everyone how great the book is, and he used the examples in class. Excellent book!.
Introduction to the novice and guide to practioners
It helps the novice to gather a complete view of the areas involved while supplying a sufficient level of detail without overloading at the same time. This book has an apprehensible way of introducing the main principles of UML and provides a step-by-step flow delivery. Equally practioners will find it a handy guide for quick reference and tool application verification.
This book, as the whole series, is not targeted at the expert user, who demands in-depth analysis of all levels of UML. Thus, a degree of conceptual granularity a novice would feel overwhelmed with, which is successfully avoided by book. Thereby it is perfect in meeting its target of introductionary yet coherent provision of UML concepts.
Experts, however, will feel more at home with the UML-Bible.
Just for beginners 
All the discussions that could lift this book to a more interesting level are left out. This book is just an introduction to UML. If you are only looking for definitions the book will do. If you want more in depth introductions to best practices, beyond what you can learn in a few hours of reading, this is not the right book for you. My advise - Buy the UML Bible as your first UML book, and spare yourself for hours of research trying to find the best way to get started with UML or just improving your UML skills. .
