Its strong points are that it covers most common inorganic complex shapes and derives their MO diagrams in a simple and easy-to-follow way. The exercises are also relatively well-written and contain answers. The caveat is that you have to do some work on the side to understand what is going on, and some diagrams could be better listed. For example, the LGOs are shown 150+ pages away (in the appendices) from where their relevant groups are discussed, and a brief introduction to the Huckel method would have been appreciated. The source of character tables could have been explained a bit more clearly as well, and there is little to no underlying derivation of the group theory (the words dihedral group, etc. are never mentioned). But all in all, it's an OK introduction.
