Short Review: I have previously read Card's commentary on Luke. And on the basis of that reading, I recommended this commentary on Mark as a book for my small group to read together. It is not designed for small group reading, but it worked well for that. We went through two or three chapters of Mark a week and found plenty to discuss.
This is a book that also would make good devotional reading. It is based on the scripture with several paragraphs (or occasionally a couple pages) of discussion about each subsection of the chapter. Most chapters of Mark have 4 or 5 subsections that are discussed. It is not an academic commentary but written for the lay reader. I have a few quibbles with some of his interpretations, but that is true of every commentary.
