The book is a great read for both beginners and avid mathematicians. It has a great balance within explaining the concepts simply and also going into details.

However, it seems like it lacks some structure or order. Some chapters would read like there is no flow, which makes them hard to read from time to time.

Would definitely recommend to someone interested in mathematics and wanting to read something beyond classic math books.
