Tripathy excels as a story teller and uses anecdotes, some better known than others - to illustrate the points he's making. It's an ingenious way of holding the reader's attention. Each section of the book is finished off with a piece headed ''My 3 Cents'', which gives a brief summary of the content of the preceding chapter and these are thought-provoking, highlighling, as they do, what Tripathy sees as the essential points.
I had two main problems with the book: firstly, Tripathy obviously knows what he's talking about but he's not always aware that his readers need information at a more basic level than he delivers. I spent far too much time googling words which I didn't understand - such as''CICD'', ''DevOps'', ''Regtech'' and ''Fintech''. Secondly the book lacks a professional and effective copy editing and proofreading. In many places the language reads as though it's written by someone for whom English in not their native language: definite and indefinite articles are regularly omitted and words are misused. By the time you get to the first line of the foreword the book has had three different titles. It's confusing to read and made worse by the fact that many readers will not be familiar with some of the terminology used. A glossary would have helped enormously.
Suppliers in the IT industry will find this book more useful than buyers, but as a buyer I found it enlightening to look at the advice from the reverse position and I'd like to thank the publisher for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
