I have a physical copy of this and I tend to read it in botanical gardens, and I think that skews my feelings. It's also my first functional analysis book so it's hard to judge its exposition and coverage.

I think it could stand to be a bit more explicit when it's introducing definitions.

Coming back to this after reading Rudin: I think Rudin is better, but neither is a subset of the other so I think both are worth reading.
