Of course you can't finish the book in 10 minutes, but you can in a day or two. It's easy to read and covers the basics. I would have loved if each chapter had some advanced query exercises.

Awesome but not for advanced SQL. If you want anything very advanced get something else but if you're new to SQL this is for you!

Well not quite, but 10 minutes for each lesson, that would be about right. A good little reference book, easy to follow and understand.
All you need is the time to do the practical at the PC keyboard and marvel at how SQL all works. This book I would highly recommend

If its not obvious in the title the title this book is 22 Lessons that you can read in 10 minutes. Each on a different subject. But its also good as a reference precisely because it broken down into small pieces. Well worth the money.
Kindle Version SUCKS - But good book - Reviewed on 2009-04-12

The content is good and very quick and to the point (as it claims) but the kindle version cuts off almost every foot note, exhibits, & Notes so your imagination has to take over to figure out what they are saying.
