If you are involved in a DevOps initiative at all, this should be the first book you read. It may not be the last, but it will be the reference you keep going back to.
DevOps is one of those subjects that seems like it should be easy to explain, but never is. It is far more than crashing development and operations disciplines together to see what happens. Ms. Freeman manages to get right to the point and deal with the many aspects of DevOps and explain how it works and how to start along the path. As pointed out in the forward by Nicole Forsgren, you can read this as a book, a reference manual or a pick your poison, random assault. I've read a number of books on DevOps and they fall into the academic, the theoretical, or the sales initiative disguised as a text. Ms. Freeman breaks the mold with a book that is laden with experience, neutral in its view of technologies and focused on what really matters - how DevOps changes the culture and the changing culture feeds the direction of DevOps. There is a lot in this book but it is presented and voiced in an accessible way that makes it all tie together and make sense. More important, no matter where you are on your DevOps journey, you will find some guidance and encouragement to take the next steps. DevOps is never a completed exercise. It is a constant set of feedback and cultural innovation that makes you and your organization better continuously. Although she comes from a deep software development background, the core framework is presented in a way that is applicable in any enterprise.

A decent basic introduction to DevOps topics, if one can stomach author's political views
In short - it's a pretty OK book describing DevOps topics though one needs to have a few things in mind:- topics are described in general terms, it's high-level theory, there's not much detail to be found- author's political views are to be found here and there, which made the book hard to read at times - I mean, I do not need to read opinions on who to hire/fire in a book describing DevOps in generalIf that's what you need then it's a good old "For dummies" format. If you are looking for technical details or cannot stomach pushing political agendas in IT books - then maybe look for another title.
