Book is good, it is a gentle introduction to statistics. I just needed it to revise concepts. It serves as a good starting point because there are a plethora of examples to make you understand the concepts. But, I came from a book that was much more technical than this, but that book was not that much concrete so it missed a lot of points that was covered by this book.
I think author could do a better job if there is a clear distinction or some kind of margin between subject matter and examples. Often examples are discussed while dealing with subject matter, which confuses and lacks the abstraction required for a subject point to hit the target.
