You know how some people can be brilliant at something, but go far too fast when they're trying to explain it to you? Well, this book does that. It is too short, and quickly gets too advanced. Jargon is used without it being in the glossary. References are made to pages with higher numbers than are in the book. The author uses the word 'rule' when I suspect he means 'good practice'. I don't think this book was given a practice run on a real beginner, like me.
