Lacking

Way too short. Lacking a lot of important information. Nothing on mining. Could have put another 10 hours to it to get something comparable the the bitcoin standard book. Save your money and watch a couple youtube vids instead.

Good book

It teaches you the basic principles behind blockchain and the Ethereum platform. How to use it, what type of applications it's good for and why it has more potential than bitcoin.
It's a good start for those who want to understand and be part of this revolutionary technology.
