It's been a long time since I read it, but it was one of the better books I've read. It changed my approach to how to think about old code-bases.

I agree. I come back to it all the time when I need a little inspiration for how to deal with a gnarly codebase. Usually there is something in there I can apply directly to get me out of a pinch. When there is not the reminder of how malleable code is suffices.
