Easy to understand and apply 
Purchased this book for some self-study when starting out my own business, and found it clear and easy to understand.

Too much advertisement 
This book uses a lot of "real companies' data" (including the boycotted clothing retailer and recently bankrupt airline). The real companies' data come with a lot of advertisements, which is kind of disturbing.
