This book is an excellent introduction to buddhism. It is very easy to read and written very clearly.
Also, I found it highly interesting and motivating to read. I already knew all of what is explained in this book, but never have read it in this clarity. This provided me with additional insights about many things I was unsure hoe to interpret.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is even remotely interested in buddhism.
