ASP.NET 3.5 brings the power of Visual Studio 2008 along with the multitude of language improvements in C# 2008 and Visual Basic 2008 as well as powerful new technology called LINQ, together with the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework you already know and love. Combine all this with the release of IIS 7.0, and you have a truly revolutionary leap forward in web application development. Greatly expanded from the original best-selling Professional ASP.NET 2.0, this new edition adds hundreds of pages and dozens of code samples so youll be prepared to put these new technologies into action.

Summary: READ YOUR LOCAL PHONEBOOK INSTEAD
Comment: i started reading it and was immediately put off by the obscure page directives, phonebook like listing of barely necessary facts and struggled to get through the book as i was annoyed at having to learn obscure and unnecessary features while also having to re-learn everything i already knew about programming AGAIN... i only got very little NEW information from this 1600 page book, and very little of that new information was actually useful information. it was like having to dig and dig and dig through dry solid soil to many days later eventually get to the gold. the gold was there but a lot of digging was required.
at least they explain themselves well tho... ill give em that, they are great authors individually and even more so collectively. pity the book took a MSDN Knowledge Base style copy/reprint. if i wanted to read the very poor msdn documentation, i would have just picked one up from the barnes & nobel store dumpster :).

Summary: Good Beginner Book
Comment: This book is a great walkthrough for the beginning ASP.NET programmer. It covers all of the major topics and areas of the framework in enough detail to get you started. It has lots of example code, but only for the common scenarios. I am an advanced ASP.NET programmer and I bought the book to help me understand some of the new features in the 3.5 framework. For that purpose, the book is just okay. The coverage of Ajax, and Linq is pretty shallow, but I was able to supplement it with some Internet based research and figure out the more nuanced aspects of the framework. Overall, I think this would be a great book for the beginner, but for the advanced user looking for a detailed reference of the ASP.NET 3.5 features, this is probably not the right book.

Summary: Good but maybe not complete
Comment: I found this book a good reference, however, there was a .NET class called Repeater that I was surprized wasn't mentioned in the book. Hmmm I guess it's not a complete reference. I wonder what else is missing. Thank goodness for the internet.

Summary: Good All Around Book on ASP.NET
Comment: This book is a good all-around book on ASP.NET. This means that the book covers a lot of topics to get you up to speed on ASP.NET, rather than focusing on specific areas like other publishers do. That's what makes this book pretty versatile, as it covers a lot of ground and exposes its readers to some new arenas they may never have developed in before (like IIS 7).
It's also written by some talented writers, so that makes for an easier read as well.

Summary: Awesome
Comment: Simply put, this is the best tech book I've read on a topic in quite a while. The authors do a great job of covering almost all important topics of asp.net. For any given topic, the writing is easily readable, thurough, filled with examples, and a mimimum of full. If you want to learn about asp.net 3.5, start here.
