There are many places where the authors discuss concepts that are very abstract, particularly the discussion of sheaf theory, and this might make its reading difficult. Brian Greene's notes are very nice. T. Hubsch's book is also great for the big picture, but I was disappointed by several non-trivial errors in his explanations of math concepts. I recommend all of the above to mathematicians as well - I am a mathematician, and I learned a lot of valuable side material from these physics sources.
