Editorial Review:
While focusing on the essential techniques common to all language paradigms, this book provides readers with the skills required for modern compiler construction. All the major programming types (imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, and distributed) are covered. Practical emphasis is placed on implementation and optimization techniques, which includes tools for automating compiler design.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A reference index
This book is disappointing. It is not a book on theory. It's not a book on implementation. It names a technique, add a shallow description and quickly pass to the next topic. This is the kind of book I would use for learning a couple of words about compilers to drop it later in a conversation. If this is just what you want, then it's OK.
Rating:  - Good bits but somewhat boring
Yes, this is a good text about compilers, mainly about theory. It has good insights into the area of compiler design, and it approaches many topics with ideas that aren't common in compiler books. However, many of these topics are only touched upon, with no depth, requiring you to look for other references.
Other very good feature of the book is covering compilation of languages from other paradigms. Most compiler books are geared towards mainstream imperative and object-oriented languages. ... Read More
Rating:  - One of the best computer science titles I own
I bought this book for a science fair project I was doing for school reasons. At first, the topic of compiler design scared me very much, and I had no idea what to do. The internet proved to have little material that was of much use, all the articles were scattered and mostly informal "hacks". That, or material that was way over my head with advanced calculus and other mathematics. When I bought this book, I did not anticipate it being so well suited to my current understanding. This book started at the very ... Read More
Rating:  - Good compilertext
This is a good compiler text, but my theory book winner is 'Engineering a compiler' by Cooper et al.
This is a very complete text. If you want to buy one theory book, buy this one because it simply covers all topics. This book also very nice written with a nice layout so a pleasure to read.
It starts very simple. Maybe some higher math would be a plus, but I think this book can also be read by novice people.
The real advantage of this book is that it also cover very advanced ... Read More
Rating: - Very good
Overall, this is an excellent book for compilers. It covers a broad range of concepts. On think that I like is that the authors didn't take the very popular approach of "hey, let's write a small subset of Pascal". They actually only covers the concepts. So, this is not a beginner's book.
Algorithms are written in "english pseudo-code" and, altought I tought it'd be a good idea, it ended up being harder to read than the "usual pseudo-code" (like in the Dragon book).
