I really like Ed's books - I'm onto the 3rd one authored by him - the first two I've read beginning with How to Read NLHE Hands, then Professional NLHE Vol 1 and now this one.
Ed's very thorough, he never skips a step in his thoughts whilst explaining in a very straight forward manner, and he's very clear in his choice of words and meaning.
My first reading of the book set my head in a whirl, the main reason is that I lost focus on the topic of the chapter, for example 'stealing from button against the blinds' as opposed to stealing from cut-ff against the blinds; and if you don't maintain focus on the current topic, the chapter loses all relevance. So I realized that after reviewing my first read through where I had gone wrong, and the second read through things are going a lot more smoothly, I'm understanding what it is Ed's explaining since I'm keeping the topic in focus at each stage. Like poker, reading about poker is situational and specific to your opponent.
