Pretty good, a little tutorial-y though. If you read this book entirely, you will be able to do some advanced things with NodeJS that a true Node professional would be able to do. I no longer feel like an amateur lost about NodeJS.

Especially the content about clusters, workers, child processes. Or the chapters about ArrayBuffers, Buffers, and networking.

It did give me a tutorial vibe though, which I do not like. I want the why, theory, and how to think in NodeJS. I don't want to read a book that is equivalent of reading documentation or tutorial blog posts.
