I read the book on a flight from Phoenix to Denver with time to spare. The chapters are well organized and the material is reinforced to the reader by the use of worksheets and a self-test. Though the depth of each of the topics covered is not extensive, the scope of the topics and the logical way they are presented allow the reader to develop a good grasp of the gist of project management. I am looking to make this book a mandatory read for employees going through our company's project management curriculum.

It goes over the basic ideas of project management without any real help in implementing them. It's sort of project management in a vacuum. It's good for getting a basic a grasp of terms and concepts for someone totally new to the field, perhaps a student. It is in workbook format with space to write out your own WBS, budget, and responsibility matrix for your imaginary project. It also has true/false comprehension quizzes. A very fast read.
