Summary: Too long, full of typographical errors
Comment: I took my introductory semantics with the first edition of this book some years ago, and was very recently teaching assistant for an advanced undergrad/introductory graduate introduction to semantics which used the second edition. It is horribly wordy and long, something which the second edition, rather than fix, worsened. Also, the book is full all over with typographical errors: above all, misnumbered references to examples and errors in formulas conspire to make many passages in this book barely descipherable. Whoever allowed this book to be published without being carefully corrected doesn't deserve their job. An online web page with errata is sorely needed.
The field of introductory books to model-theoretic semantics, however, is quite a barren one, and this book does very well when compared with the competition (e.g. Heim and Kratzer's textbook).
