I covered a bulk of the book in my analysis course, as well as more in free time. The book provides a solid introduction to analysis. Compared to, say, Abbott's understanding analysis, its less of a hand-held experience, and the author expects the reader to take greater responsibility of their own learning.
However, I personally liked the rigorous and concise writing style. It provides a nice middle ground between Abbott's book, and Baby Rudin, being approachable by beginners, while accommodating the developing skills of the reader.

All in all, I would recommend this book to the dedicated beginner looking for a solid introduction to analysis.

This one isn't quite a page-turner. But if you want to be able to prove why calculus works, this is a place to start!
