"If you're at all interested in Google BigQuery, this is an excellent book. The descriptions and sample code are clear and easy to understand, and the fact the authors are so involved with the project means they include insights into why things were designed in that particular way. There are useful descriptions of the differences between BigQuery and other tools such as MapReduce, and overall you'll come out with a much clearer view of the big data scene right now, and how everything fits together." (I Programmer, August 2014)
