A couple of chapters felt like they could have been merged, but that is a minor complaint. The index and cross-references are surprisingly good, which matters for a book I will come back to. A few of the examples could be more realistic, but the underlying points come across clearly. Solid, and I would buy another book from this author without hesitation.

I got a lot out of this, even if a few sections felt rushed.
