It's a alright high-level introduction to compilers, but is very repetitive, with some explanations repeated five or six times. It felt like it could have been 25% shorter without sacrificing any real content. I also found the flowery text comparing compilation steps to symphonies to be annoying and unnecessary. I'm not entirely sure who the target audience is given the shallow depth combined with a very low-level subject - no one is likely to need an executive summary of the material and those more technically inclined will likely want one of the more low-level and detailed tomes on the subject.
