On pages 413-414, Dr. Sproul shares a story where his English teacher pinned his paper on a board and wrote to him saying, "Don't ever let anybody tell you that you can't write." I say Amen to her comment. Dr. Sproul books can get pretty deep in the weeds in theology and philosophy. However, his writing style allows the reader to easily follow along and understand these complex ideas. His commentary on Romans is no exception to this.
He starts his book stating this commentary is not a comprehensive one. And it's not. Because of this I can't give it five stars. Chapters are no longer then 12 pages, which might cover one to two verses or half a chapter in Romans. He seems to rush through the last two Chapters of Romans as well.
His exegesis of the text is what you would come to expect if you are familiar with Dr. Sproul's theology (Calvinism). He does a masterful job of explaining the key words in the original language, words like dikaioo (or it's various forms).
Though it's not a comprehensive commentary, I highly recommended this book. Weighing in at a little more than 500 pages, it is a surprisingly quick read as well.
