As a reader more interested in Knuth's work in general, I must admit that, despite having advanced degrees in CS and a quite decent math education, I found myself unable to follow the heavy mathematics employed, and ultimately, the problems analyzed were not interesting enough to me to make me spend the effort to follow it. One of the chapters was titled "A Trivial Algorithm Whose Analysis Isn't", and this probably sums up why I'm not entirely enthusiastic about this book and about the field of algorithm analysis in general.
Knuth wouldn't be Knuth if he didn't throw some lighter material in as well, and chapter 2, "The Dangers of Computer Science Theory", was quite amusing.
