I only read chapters 1-2, 4-9, 11, 13-16, as required for my capstone class. I would not necessarily recommend the book if it is not required reading for you, but it was one of the more enjoyable, comprehensive text books I have had to read for a class.

If project management was interesting,
this would be a good book.
