The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Good: Great content. Focuses on high level design and implementation and leaves the nitty gritty details to a pre-coded object model. Geared more toward advanced enterprise developers who do not want to wade through boilerplate code.

The Bad: A few typos and code example errors.

The Ugly: Buyer Beware! Wrox seems to have abandoned this title. You cannot download any of the code samples, which makes the high level approach less appealing.

a surprisingly good book
In spite of its small size, this book is surprisingly good. It is not all you will need to develop your "next big thing", but it points you in the right direction nevertheless.
If you are about to develop your first big project (like me) and you need a relatively brief guide, this might be a book for you.
And, contrary to what the other readers said about support, I didn't have any problems downloading the codes at all. In any case, I just downloaded the codes, so the previous problems encountered by other readers must have been addressed.

Not what it seems
This book should be called "an walkthrough of a .NET application".

You cannot explain enterprise development by walking us through one application! They needed to explain why they have designed a component in a particular way, and possible alternatives for different scenarios.

The books is basically a walkthrough of an application written by the authors. I was hoping for something along the lines of a discussion of designing an implementing enterprise applications.

I think their data access mechanism is better than hard coding sql but I wouldn't use it in production. It is not a true object orientated persistence layer.

However I rate this book 2 stars because their are some things that I gained from their example app. There are always things to learn from analyzing an application.
