It's not bad, but I think the refactoring book is a much better read. I found the DP book a little too basic and pretty short, but the Refactoring book had more meat that you can grow into as you get better with Ruby. But if you're a complete beginner you might appreciate the Ruby intro chapter in the DP book, but I think it's a waste of space to include an intro to Ruby chapter in a book about design patterns. I posted the same thing in more detail a little while ago here: http://groups.google.com/group/rails-oceania/msg/24088fb6dcc6cf8a That thread might also be of interest.
