He has a style of teaching that anticipates questions as you read and answers them on the spot. He drills on important issues so that they're understandable and unforgettable. The issues he takes up in this book are critical, especially in this era of cryptolocker, rootkits and other baddies out there. This book is essential reading, as is his book on backing up your computer. Highly recommended. .
