It depends a lot on what you mean by "play the piano."
In my opinion, it's a load of crap.
On the other hand, if you just want to be able to play (very) basic songs, and to entertain musically illiterate people, then I'm sure the book works. You'll be playing Elton John in no time. You won't, however, learn anything more from that book than you would from any other, so long as you put a little effort into it. Don't expect to be improvising solos or playing conciertos any time soon.
