My first "summary" book - much better then I expected!
Clear, concise & compelling writing that was well-organized & easy to read. Not sure how much of it has to do with the authors versus the material they were working with, but either way, I took away a lot of good information. I'll definitely try out the others in the series, given I was able to read this is less than an hour (but I'm a fast reader).
