Well written and organized.

The book is well laid out and is an easy read. Although I'm using it to review, it wish that I'd had it the first go around with javascript.

As long as you have a good handle on the basics of JavaScript, going into this book is a blast. I feel like I've learned more in this book alone than I ever have with ANY other JavaScript book I have used.
