Before reviewing a book you have to ask yourself: Who is the intended audience? This book is clearly for beginners who want to get started with Symfony, rather than experts who want to learn how to extend the core of the framework.

I think you missed the point of the book. The purpose of the author is to build a real-life web application using the latest version of the framework, and not to comment about the new features added to 1.3. Those who want to know more about the changes made to the framework are clearly not beginners. So the question is, did the author achieve his goal? Yes. How well, from 1 to 5?

I am quite surprised about the 3.5/5 rate.
That book actually suffers from technical mistakes, early release issues

Moreover it lacks symfony 1.3 functionalities which could be the point for a book called “symfony 1.3″ and is definitely too expensive.

The one thing I appreciate is how chapters are separated.

Too bad the book author requests a review to everyone.
