If you really have interest in Aristotle's Metaphysics and patience, this book is amazing. It sorts out Aristotle's Metaphysics. I try not to judge classics the same way I would a newer book, but hopefully it helps.
Alexander breaks down the first few books of Metaphysics and clears up a lot of confused points within the text. He really brings out Aristotle's arguments against Platonism and very strongly destroys it. Admittedly I did not understand Aristotle nearly as well until reading this book.
Alexander has a lot of repetitions within the work, so it can be a struggle to keep with it when he inserts something new into another review of the same argument.
None the less, this book is really great.
