Understanding SOAP

Question for the list: 

Is the book "Understanding SOAP: The Authoritative Solution" a worthwhile
buy or read?

Context:
I am not interested in a Microsoft perspective (but I do want to write Java
to talk with MS implementations) nor one that will confuse me coming up to
speed with my Java - SOAP implementation.

Anyone read it and have an opinion?

thanks,

John

I am using it as a reference - it is pretty clearly written.

It can also mean "strange".

I found that just reading the first sections of the SOAP spec from the W3c
was easier and faster.
