The supplied aggregate rating is entirely five-star, but it represents only a small number of ratings and no written feedback is available here. Treat that as limited positive rating evidence, not a guide to which parts readers valued. The book's described breadth and 750-page length are more useful indicators of fit for readers seeking an in-depth SRE reference.
