  between 3 & 4 stars.
  
  Relatively short introduction to Mesos, but I think that book could be improved by showing more examples, especially for more complex setups, like Hadoop, etc.

  Relatively better intro to Mesos than the Mesos in Action book.
  
  However as other books, this one falls short on setting up your own cluster to work with.
  
  Regardless this time I went through all the trouble of making a fully functional cluster by myself.
  
  After that the book became much more enjoyable. While it's a relatively simple intro to Mesos,
  it focuses on more the important parts that are actually how to build applications with the "must have" Mesos frameworks.
  
  
  I don't understand why every book I read about Mesos has long chapters on how to build your own Scheduler and Executor before you even know how to deploy 3 applications on Mesos.
  
  Either way a 3/5 is what I rate my experience with the book. It's better than Mesos in Action, but it's relatively short and fast to jump to writing Frameworks without giving enough attention to Mesos.

  As a beginner, it was very helpful because there is a lot of real-world problem/solution example clearly explained.
