Is Yergin's The Quest worth the read?

This question is a duplicate of:
Question in an interview regarding M&A 0 comments

I've read The Prize twice and it took me two weeks each time, so I'm going to assume this one will take quite a while to get through as well. I'm prioritizing my reading list so want to hear your thoughts on it before considering picking it up.
