It's the only source for the Spin model checker available out there. So writing a review for it is completely meaningless Because we don't have any alternative for it.
Book is not well written, Many things in it are confusing and you should try things many times by yourself to understand different aspects of the model checker.
But between many of the documents of other model chicking softwares, it is a good thing.
