Pros
Easy to read and understand. The curriculum is very similar to the curriculum my flight instructor uses. I have been able to answer some of his quiz questions in greater detail than he has explained.
Cons
Some parts of the book are simplified a bit more than the CFII will cover.
General Comments
All in all, this is the most useful part of my flight training so far. I have a tight budget, but this is definitely worth it. This will and has saved me money at the hangar.

Great addition to my existing Jeppesen materials. My instructor recommended this to me as reinforcement study. It's a great book with great diagrams.

Only covers the techniques of flying, not so much other useful information such as regulations.
