review 1: The book covers very very basic stuff. But still introduces the main concepts of Git. The best thing there is that you could try start using git with author. Step by step. Didn't help me but I believe could help complete novice a lot. It doesn't tells you why the hell git is so good. But it isn't bad as novice won't understand the power of git's branches and merges without shooting himself with svn.
review 2: This book is pretty basic. It's not a bad start if you're coming from CVS or SVN with zero DVCS experience (git, bzr, hg, bk, ...). A book on Git should either be for the user who wants to maintain their CVS/SVN workflow but with Git or it should be for the whacked out uber coder who wants to get crazy wid it (like moi). Sadly, this book tries to be bot... moreh without really being either. If you're interested in reading it, see if you can bum it off a friend. less
