This is an awesome book for software testers with less than two years of experience. If that's you, then you'll definitely get a lot of value out of it. You should buy it without hesitation.
What it does well is provide a clear understanding of what it means to "think like a tester." I recommend also that QA managers give it to their greenest team members. They will undoubtedly become better testers as a result.
However, if you're someone who has been in QA for several years, all of these attacks are going to be obvious--and ones that you almost certainly will already consider a part of your regular testing repertoire.
Even still, it's fun reading about some of the extant bugs in shipping Microsoft products, with step-by-step instructions on how to make them happen. I also like the freeware that comes with it--it's limited in scope, but still quite useful for certain testing situations.

Thsi book was recommended by two people working at Microsoft. One was a Test Lead in IIS team and another a Test Manager with the Games for Windows team. I thought that being the case it would be worth giving it a shot. Here are some of my observations:
1) This book is fast paced.
2) Every point is made succinctly and not blabbered on, so it keeps your interest througout.
3) Provides lots of examples to help relate. Many are errors in MS Word 2000, which also makes it interesting to read.
4) Covered many distinct types of approaches, so is very thorough and organized. Different types of testing, types of attack within each type of testing, how/what/when details of the attack is all listed. Nothing left out.
5) Aimed towards newbies to testing, but is a good quick refresher resource for those who have been into testing for a little bit.

Great book covering orthodox and some unorthodox thoughts on testing methods and some specific guides. While the college trained tester or the person with many years of experience will probably find this too basic, it's still worth thumbing through for a new idea or two. The most common testing faults are missing common issues, such as testing for bad or negative input.

Every tester should have Dr Whittakers book on their shelf. Just to open and read from time to time for enlightenment.

This book is geared toward testers and how to properly test your software, but it should be required reading for software developers as they are usually the worst testers out there. I had the opportunity to take a one day course based on this book from the author is it was great.
