Whirlwind 'over the shoulder' view from an experienced architecture/tech-debt consultant.
The writing is generally clear (although sometimes the English a little off) and there are plenty of examples with good charts.

If you ever struggled as an IT pro on a complex demanding project, this book makes for consoling reading (the figure given for properly architected projects is something like 10%!)

The tools section is very light but does show the best options available.
Some more tools would be good - in particular tools that do not require a large budget!

Also more detailed references section and ideally a kind of 'learning pathways' section would add more weight to this text.

The mention of Tools and Materials as a (better? since it has a Presentation layer concept and seems simpler) alternative to DDD was a revelation for this reader.

Not bad but a bit "light".
