A pretty decent book, overall - very instructive in the way of decomposing your software so that it can be effectively implemented in Akka. However, there's not much more substance to it since it only briefly touches on the other topics that it covers.

If you're like me and you've never done any Akka before, I'd say this is a good book to pick up before delving into the syntax and gritty coding/framework details - it's a fast read and will quickly get you into the right mindframe.

Very good book. This is a collection of good advises you should take care when implementing your actor systems. The most value you'll get from the value is not what you can do but essentially what you shouldn't do as said in the final notes. Special thanks to the authors.
