Levine is basically what happens if you combine 9th grade rebbe energy with scholarship.
It's very fun. And some of us did not exactly have 9th grade rebbeim with the desire or energy to get us excited about Gemara so these books feel a little like a tikkun when I learn them.
The way he thinks about the conversation between halakha and aggadah is fascinating and I enjoyed all his examples.
The downside of having this as my shul book is that I now have no notes on the bits I found most interesting.
