Very pragmatic and filled with good examples of ToC tools that are missing in other books.
A quick read and easily understandable storyline.

Mixed bag -
The good - decent summary of Critical Chain with a few (small) extensions
The bad - too much focus on the nitty-gritty of "TOC/Critical Chain consulting"
Overall worth it, but you get more out if it if you are actually interested in the consulting route.
