mckinsey valuation - worth reading?

incoming ft at an eb trying to get a solid understanding of basic financial concepts. first glance, the book seems very theoretical and was wondering if it was worth picking up (hoping to go buyside after analyst so wondering if it might help for that too).

I guess I'm wondering if it's really a practical book, not necessarily for modeling purposes, but to provide a solid framework to think about valuation in general. Thanks!
