I read this to complement the Stanford Game Theory course on Coursera (the author is one of the Professors). The examples from the lectures are taken straight from the book. I got what I wanted from it: a basic understanding of the core concepts in game theory. I do wish the book expanded on the definitions in plain English in addition to the technical definitions. As someone who doesn’t read math notations regularly, I had to take extra time in deciphering what all the symbols mean. In the lectures on Coursera the professor does break it the formulas down to plain English so that helped.
I recommend using the book as a supplement to the Coursera course, but you’ll probably need to find external resources to walk through the calculations for some of the concepts here. I highly recommend William Spaniel’s videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJDIGW0ywWw9Kh9\_vtwqxXA
