This book is highly recommended by schools such as Hack Reactor and Makersquare (currently the two schools that I am trying to get into right now). However, if you know little to know programming, this book is not going to make much sense.
I'm a javascript novice and I didn't like reading this book. I thought things weren't explained in an easy to understand way.
The best JavaScript book I've ever read.
