Nice review. Couple of points I'd love to reinforce.

At points, I wondered if Ed Miller was an educator in a former life.

I wonder the same thing. I don't find any sort of teaching background in his bio at
http://www.notedpokerauthority.com/bio.htm . But he certainly seems to be one of those rare "techies" with skills to not just understand complex concepts but also to communicate them to others. I try to be the same way, and I learn a lot from reading his writing.

Like other 2+2 books, it is well written and direct. Unlike other 2+2 books, I think it is more accessible because of the style of writing.

I'm dubious about the first sentence I excerpted here, but I heartily agree with the second. They've always known how to play poker; now they have someone who can write for a general audience.
BTW, is it just me, or is the curling simile just f'ing brilliant?
Anyway, if it's ok with you, I'm going to link your review at PokerWiki:
