The entire example of the Chapter 9 is not working. I tried it many times and it's not working. The chapter 9 is the most important one in the book because it deals with Forms. In the testing chapter, it suggested a section to show how to test routing. But it actually tested if there's a link or not. The last chapter about Angular in Production is kinda FYI reading. Nothing goes into details.
But put aside all that, there's a lot to see in this book, and it's kinda well explained with some good examples.

Great book! The author is very experienced and works at Google so you will learn some tricks that you might have not seen in the documentation. I didn't know about Content Projection until I've read the chapter.

As I am new to Angular I can not comment much on the 'tips and tricks' mentioned by another reviewer. For my taste the examples are good but the code given does not work in too many cases. The online github samples are better but show the end result. That defies the point of working through the book and the samples.
The writing is just boring as in many coding or programmer books and its time to improve that I think.

If what you're looking for is a book that walks you through a bunch of tutorials to learn Angular, this is the book for you.
If what you're looking for is a reference, not such a good choice.
This is a 2018 book that covers Angular 4. We are on Angular 10 now. Angular has been maintaining backward compatibility since the jump from AngularJS to Angular 2, but still, a lot has happened since Angular 4 and I noticed some dead links.
