make sure you are right audience

It's not that this is a bad book, but you have to make sure you are right audience. The book offers very high-level overviews on various techniques of data mining, but it is almost impossible to learn how to really implement them. Since there are no exercises after each chapter you probably already know who the target audience of the book are.
