I read some part of it to understand (infact revise should be the proper word) the basics of Dirac algebra and long story short "I got through it nice and easy".
McMahon has unique writing style, he likes to keep things simple and to the point without any side notes. Of course that is not a good practice in general but when it comes to short reference books it is the best technique that one can adopt. His series of books named as " demystified" is one of the best reference series I ever found.

I almost can not understand what inside the book, a lot of math, theory and prior knowledge is needed.

So many typos in this book

DNF, but it's a good book for beginners to learn the field.

[Shahryar Khan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Tons of typos, severe lack of explanations as to where all the formulas come from (they are presented directly without much motivation) and the problems are ALL computational in nature. There are no theoretical, thought-provoking exercises. This book is basically just useful for a quick 1-day intro or refresher into the main ideas of QC, but don't expect any deep explanations or any useful exercises.
Obviously, a book written just for monetary gain.
