His is a good book with a deep dive in data science. As I am not a technical person, some areas needed a bit of time to grasp. There overall description of data analytics and flavours of data seem comprehensive and really interesting. There are good lifesaving types of data and data sources that can support business needs if collected and analyzed in the right way for certain business circumstances.

The first several chapters are really good and probably the best intro to data engineering and data science. You can read it as some senior developer explains to you all the data processing and data world. This part is simple, but respects you. I gave bonus stars in my head for it.
The practical part with coding is so mediocre. It doesn't need to have so much code in the book, a bit of code, a bit of references to external site and more explanation why something is done and when to do it.
