I felt that, when I read the book the first time and hadn’t encountered many of the concepts before, his way of introducing the ideas was hard to understand. After I had been introduced to the same ideas in a more traditional way, I didn’t think his explanations told me anything that I didn’t know.
(For the most part, that is—I do seem to recall that his explanation of inductive proofs allowed me to get the concept a little better, after I had already had the concept explained to me elsewhere.)
