1: Read it thouroughly!
Read it thoroughly! yes, that is the best way I can describe this book. This is THE best book on Six Sigma available in the market. Peter Pande has done a great job in explaining the concept of Six Sigma through this book. If you are Black Belt, or Master Black Belt, or just someone thinking to go that path, this text is an additional source on top of your training material and classroom training. The authors have an extensive experience with Six Sigma and this book will provide you with the basic understanding of what six Sigma is and how to implement it.
It is divided into three parts:
I. Executive Overview - Understanding of Six Sigma and why it works. It is also good to build your pitch to convince your leadership team.
II.How to Prepare for Implementation - what are key roles in Six Sigma, how to select right people for those key roles, and how to get buy-in of key stakeholders.
III. Roadmap: Steps on how to actually implement Six Sigma. tells you how to select the processes and projects to make a solid impact on your business.
Personal opinion, as a Six Sigma professional, you will always learn something new, every time you go through the pages of this book.

3: Dont waste your time with this book!
This book will tell you that six sigma is an excellent quality improvement program, (You probably heard this already) yet authors won't equip reader with the tools that six sigma offers. I read this book twice with a strong desire to understand the principles of the six sigma, but after reading it cover to cover twice I got nowhere.
I like to read, and through the years I read a lot of books, but consider this to be the worst business book I read so far! Jack Welch, in his book Winning (which I strongly recommend) dedicates one short chapter to Six sigma, and it covers everything you will learn from this book. This book offers no substance what's so ever!!

4: Horridly boring.
More power to you if you can get something worthwile from this book. I bought the book on CD, and it was easily the most forgettable experience I've had in a while. The information is presented from a 30,000 mile view. So "big picture" oriented that it's useless to try and consider the action behind the concepts presented.
If you're looking for a way to appear to have read something complicated and high level about Six Sigma. you found your source. If you want real, usable information, look elsewhere.

5: Excellent Book
No Joke. A serious six-sigma book written in most elegant form. I like the part where the Authors provide insights into "Sir Pork" - a really good way to put serious stuffs into readable form. Ignore the stars. It could have been 6 :).
