It was interesting and useful but I was under the impression that it was way more of a mental discussion of sports than about tennis particularly. It is not.
So, my complaints about this book are largely about how it's detailed information isn't applicable to me.

I do not play tennis. I don’t think I have ever played tennis (though I did get a cute pink racket for a gift once). So why would I read this book? Because it was required reading for a program I am in, of course. So I didn’t understand all of it- some of the terminology went right over my head. But then the parts where the games were being described were totally fascinating. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who does play tennis. I tried to apply what I was reading to playing pickle ball with my husband so we’ll see if I can use mental warfare to beat him in the future.
This is definitely one of the if not the best tennis books out there. Gilbert wasn't a great player, but he's definitely one of the best coaches of the sport.
