Aggregate customer ratings are strongly weighted towards five-star scores, with a smaller range of lower ratings. This gives a broadly positive overall signal but does not identify what customers liked or disliked. The book’s listed topic coverage and exam-practice material may be relevant to course fit, but the ratings alone do not confirm those features’ quality or suitability for an individual course.
