I have read the book in at least two programming languages.
I'm a huge fan of Downey for lowering the entry bar to solid logic and reason around computer science, particularly when introducing Python to novice learners outside traditional collegiate computer science programs.
For this reason, I've recommended the book to friends who teach or have kids.
What's great about Downey is that he brings together concise and clear writing with unimpeachable correctness, a quality that was missing from my computer science education, where the curriculum was set in stone and was decades old and written by someone without Downey's gifts.
The fact that this jupyter stack runs on a five year old android phone without issue is a bonus!
