So, the book is great if you don’t have much experience on reversing. It deals with all the essential concepts for both user and kernel space and makes references even to non-Windows platforms and file formats such as ELF. Kris Kaspersky is an amazing reverser and the book is written in an really simple manner from a reader’s point of view. The main disadvantage is the massive use of external resources (articles, books, links etc.) for further research and that in some cases the author focuses on specific tools instead of giving the overall idea, however, I don’t know if this could be avoided. Each chapter deals with both theory and practice even though I think that it’s more of practical/technical book since it contains numerous examples and in some cases, even on real world applications (such the introductory example of cracking WinRAR in chapter 6).
