This is a huge book (over 1400 pages) that is used for a two-semester class in an electronics class in an electrical engineering curriculum. It is so big that it could also likely be used for a master's level electronics class as well. The book is definitely kind of a slog to get through. Thankfully, my teacher did not teach directly from the book, and taught pretty much just from memory and experience, and created his own homework, quizzes, and exam problems. So, the book, while required, was more of a reference guide. The handful of times I did have to read anything out of the chapters I could follow what was going on, but I cannot really say how much the theory and examples in the chapter text prepare you to do the problems.
Generally, I would say that it is not likely to be the easiest book to teach yourself the material from. But, if paired with a decent study aid or supplement you can likely use it if you are trying to teach yourself the material. It does review some of the material that you would learn in the first year of circuits, but the focus is definitely on transistors, diodes, and how circuit components such as operational amplifiers are made using different types of transistors, and then gets more advanced from there.
