It's really hard to review such books. I must say that I had some doubts, before reading, about the publication date, 2008: I haven't even graduated from school at that time and here is JS. But, considering small size and really useful insights into prototypal inheritance, global variables and hoisting (basic inner concepts), I have to say this book is still noteworthy. Also, there are some "old" parts, right among the "good" and the "bad" ones, you can find Crockford's updated opinions on some matters and ES6 new features in particular, what would help with a bit more complete vision.

Книга написана очень доступно, хороша для упорядочения знаний. Из плохого - синтаксические диаграммы, громоздкие и ненужные.
