Seconded. The failings are especially good - they give you a meaty, fleshy hands on on the sharp edges the Falcon-1 project had. And make the eventual triumph so much more spectacular. And - not to denigrate the original effort in any way - the book also demonstrates how amazing it was they scaled from "run-of-the mill" light Falcon-1 booster to a pure sci-fi reusable Falcon-9 platform in a matter of few years.
