Good but weak in places.

This book does an excellent job of describing most of the features of Ruby. However the examples of and describing the true power of some of Ruby's features. I found the material on blocks in particular to be troublesome to me. That is actually my biggest complaint about the book. Otherwise it is the best introductory book on Ruby out there.
