Luis leads you through the bare bones fundamentals of drawing. If you heed his advice (practice, practice, practice is one key) you'll be making cartoon characters and getting a solid foundation for further adventures.
The instructions are rooted in the very basic fundamentals of drawing: line, shape, and composition. Keeping in mind the goal of enabling you to create cartoonish characters, the book is an excellent introductory text. He even gives a supply list that you'll easily be able to pull together, whatever pencils and paper you have handy.
For non-cartoon drawing fundamentals I'd suggest one of books from Andrew Loomis, perhaps Fun with a Pencil. For realistic drawing, aka draftsmanship look at Drawing from Observation by Brian Curtis.

I've searched a lot for a drawing tutorial book and apparently I've chosen the worst one. It's not all bad of course, it just doesn't fit for an absolute beginner.
