Of the several books I've read on UML and more importantly object-orientation I've found this one to be concise and well thought out. Discussions on what objects do and don't do are well described.

The book explains in a nice form the "Object-Orientation for Beginners", but I don't know if OO beginners understand everything directly. The chapter about the Project Management needs to be reworked because there is a possibility to fall into a slumber...
