Pros & Cons
Pros
This is something that is sorely lacking in the industry and the material in this book will help you get headed in the right direction. The book is a very good overview of rest. A great overview to start. This is an awesome read.
This book is recommended as a cookbook for building better restful services. It walks the reader through all necessary criteria and concerns for developing 1st class restful web-api interfaces. George lays out how to build restful apis well.
Perfectly educational, terse, illustrative and digestible. Author explains rest in a very clean manners and supports his claims with practical examples.

Highlights
Quality
The best way how to learn rest is to design and restful api and this book is a solid preparation
A pretty good run down on restful api design and best practices

Price
Definitely worth a lot more than its price
Good quick read intro at a great price
I found more value in this short selfpublished book at a low price than i have in many that have cost me in excess of 50
I think having a general idea of rest will help a great deal when reading it but not essential
Competitiveness
It covered why rest is the worthy successor of soap design principles of rest common misconceptions and great examples
That 1 seems like its written by an api designer as opposed to a consumer
The book would have gotten 5 stars if it included some detailed comparisons of different api implementation strategies
