Has anyone found a good book on Drools 6.x ?  There is one on jBPMS 6 by Estaban, Maricio and Mariano.  (BTW, the rating on this one was only 1 star out of 5 stars.)  

I found several on Drools 5, some of which had 3 stars and some 5 stars.  Whatever, it depended greatly on the reviewer and how they were feeling at the time.  (Did someone kick your dog?  Did you get lucky last night?)  Although the reviews were fairly objective they were, for the most part, consistent with previous reviews from that particular person.  

If want to really examine the reviewers, click on their name and look at how they have reviewed other books over the past few years and see if they consistently rate books a 5 or 4 or 3 and whether they have gotten more lenient in the past few years or more strict.  This will be your guide to reviewers and how you should expect them to rate an average, good or great book.  (None seemed to review anything below 3 stars.)

Hi James,
We are writing one right now with Esteban and Mariano again. The one that you mention about jBPM 6 is from Mariano, and it was an update of our previous book about jBPM 5. About the rating it is kinda unfair, because it is just one reviewer. 
Are you interested in being a reviewer of the Drools 6 book that we are writing right now? We have suggested Mario Fusco as he is doing pretty much all the Drools development nowadays. :)

Hi, 
May I know how far have you reached with the book? I would like to review. 
I am already working with Drools 6 Fusion (complex event processing) and also using both .DRL and Decision tables in my work.
