Useful survey.

Good but not great.
There are technical flaws (diagram misprints / duplications, misprints in move sequences) — not an overwhelming number, but enough to be very annoying. The Kindle formatting of move sequences is irregular, making some of them all but unreadable.
The detailing of the various methods is spotty. In particular, the F2L cases are never enumerated. There is enough there so you can figure out what to look up, but it’s not really a self-contained reference.
Useful but not adequate.

Nice intro book if you have never solved the Rubik cube. It was a quick and easy read, and unfortunately didn't teach me anything I haven't already learned via the many YouTube videos that I watched about the different methods one can use ("Beginner", Fridrich/"CFOP", "Roux" and "ZZ"), and the complexity of the puzzle (43.2 quintillion possible positions, but that can all be solved with at most 20 moves - the so-called "God Number").

If you are more comfortable having a printed written reference rather than bookmarking badmephisto.com for example, this will be a good book to have- although it does skip over some essential algorithms and lingo (for example the author describes the Sune and Antisune and "Sexy" triggers but doesn't name them).

Not the easiest book to follow

If you are young, and or really enthusiastic about completing the cube quickly, then this is the book for you. I just wanted to complete it and remember the algorithm to do so.
