Very enjoyable way to learn

I read this book as I listened to it on Audible. I didn't understand every word but got the gist of the story. I can go back and reread or reread and listen to it again and learn more.

It feels like the conversational content is actually relevant, even more so than in the previous beginner edition. The story is a little bit less dumb, but the book is still not a masterpiece.
