It's a waste of time, especially if you have read other WWI books, such as the classic Guns of August by Tuchman; it's not like there's a vastly important breakthrough since then. Pretty pedestrian reading too, not too stimulating.
At least Christopher Clark's book gives us significant knowlegde of Serbia and the Entente nations.
Quite unimpresssed with her book. Avoid it if you can, just read Tuchman, that's more than enough. WSJ correctly judges that for History books last year, Rick Atkinson's final trilogy book of WWII is better than hers(among others).
