If you're looking for an SQL "how to," this is not your book. But if you just want to grasp what the animal is - and how it's used - you won't be disappointed. Blue walks you through a basic explanation of SQL in terms of where, when and how it contacts your life. His real-world examples make the concepts easier for the uninitiated (such as myself) to grasp. The book is well organized and generally clear. My one real complaint is the material appears to have been published without proofing. It's a bit distracting, but worth the effort if you're interested in understanding the basics of SQL.
