The title of the book did not imply that this book also actually covers how to write good stories, and gives an overall picture how to start and how to deliver the end result from an agile perspective (which are presented well enough). If you are already familiar with those topics and are actually looking to delve more in-depth into user story mapping (with great examples), then this might not be it. It also repeats itself sometimes. I get that some things bear repeating, but still, it's a bit much.
The author explains a lot of interesting stuff about product discovery. My only gripe with this book is the tone of the author. It is too playful to consider this book serious (although the book has some very serious stuff)
