The author clearly understands Intrusion Detection, and computer
security at a fairly deep level.  He may in places disagree with me
(and thus be WRONG :), but he does not lack understanding.

He tries to do an awful lot of things, which is a trap many authors
fall into.  So, what are you looking for in a book on Intrusion
Detection?
