Covers a wide range of web application security topics. The book serves as an introduction, and on the plus side, provide several links that provide more detailed information if you are interested in exploring further.

I believe the concepts could have been explained with real-world examples. There are many free resources out there that do a better job at it.

This book is decent.
The good thing about it is that it uses NodeJS/Javascript to explain the code examples, so it's easy for most developers to understand and follow along. Plus, there's a GitHub repository available for tinkering with the examples.
The downside is that the book only gives a brief overview of each topic, without going into much detail. It would be better if the authors provided more in-depth materials and examples.
