Specifically, the complaint (also seen in English reviews)
is that the book has close ties with the LRM, frequently
quoting it, making readers wonder why the book then…

Needless to say, its audience is assumed to be prepared,
somewhat experienced, patient, and ready to tackle a number
of different formal concepts. Some reviewers do not recommend
this book to beginners in programming, but rather for use
by those wishing to now do software engineering, in Ada.
