I read this book studying for promotion, not for pleasure or education purposes. It served that purpose well enough. I felt that it covered many topics and oversimplified some very serious topics, but as I said, it wasn't really intended to be overly educational. The Fire Officer book that I read for the last promotion test was similar, but better written. Unfortunately the name of that book escapes me at this moment.
My biggest gripe about the book was that its binding is subpar. After about 4 readings, the pages in the middle are separating and falling out. It is poor quality and not worth the approximately $65 in my opinion.
