I bought and read the one on MongoDB which is really great (concise read, to the point, and a learned a lot too). I am currently reading the NLP one and it's a great read too.

Can anyone give reviews on the other ones (for instance the one on data analysis) ?

The NLP one can be found online, for free, here: http://www.nltk.org/book

The Hadoop book gives lots of insights into the internals of Hadoop.

But if you want to get started quickly you might be better off just reading a quick guide (http://www.michael-noll.com/wiki/Running_Hadoop_On_Ubuntu_Li...) and using the Pig console.

I bought and read the Collective Intelligence one and enjoyed it. It's a good read.

Agreed. The collective intelligence book has had good reviews from me and others on HN in the past. It's a good intro text with implementable examples.

+1 - I actually already own this one and find it's great as well.
