A very short how-to book, it covers most of the same things I've read in many other books on writing. It's repeated so often because it is good information, but this particular book doesn't bring anything new to the table.
If you want to write a novel, you need to write every day. That will do it. You will write a novel. It may not be a good novel, but you will write a novel.
