Thoughts about AspectJ in Action: Enterprise AOP with Spring Applications

Have finished reading book AspectJ in Action.
This is a rather lengthy book, but it covers AOP in depth. First, AOP theory and AspectJ as a reference implementation. Second, Spring AOP and the use of AspectJ and Spring altogether.

The author writes that AOP is not the silver bullet. As always choose the right tool for the right job.

I would also recommend read Spring documentation on AOP together with this book. Also, the book contains the path to gradually adoption of AOP in your projects.
