Small review of "Clean Code" book

Just finished reading of the "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" book. I read a lot about it, and found a time to read it. But I was disappointed - there is not so much interesting information for experienced developers. I understand, that this book could be very interesting and useful for beginners and for peoples, who aren't using test-driven development. But only for them....
P.S. And this book is too Java-oriented - you need to read Java to understand some examples - this is also not so good from my point of view
