This is a personal reflection on the way it's presented. I'm sure that there are people who already know some of the content, and I found myself skimming over things, nodding, and thinking "Nothing new here." Then realised that there was something I missed, or an explanation that was especially nice, and I had to go back and re-read, wondering what else I might have missed.
So I found it all very smooth, clean, informative, but there was no story, no arc, no narrative, nothing to make me want to sit with a coffee (or other beverage of choice) and simply read like a novel. There wasn't the "Hook; Narrative; Reveal" structure that keeps the reader involved.
Which is a bit of a shame, because the bits I did take time over are really, really nice.

It's really nice.
