I've read it. It was an easy read. No mathematics. Every occurrence of "NP-complete" was replaced with "intractable" and there are tons of anecdotes, many I hadn't heard before. I didn't come away from the book feeling profoundly altered, but I didn't regard it as a waste of time either. If you're looking for something to read on the train, this will do a solid job.

Sometimes you encounter a book that covers material you already "know", but seeing it in a sort of coherent narrative structure can be the thing you need to change the way you think about and perceive the world.
