Have you read the second part? I really liked how he took the donut-coffee cup joke and turned it into how a topologist may be unable to distinguish between them, but will be able to use the fundamental group to distinguish between a coffee cup and an ordinary bun. Also, how a topologist living in a corner of a finite dimensional cube would be certain that they live in a corner, but how a topologist living in a corner of the Hilbert cube can't. No idea why, but those made me smile. Also the first several chapters were good bed reading. The problems were mostly such that you could do them in your head without having to write anything down, but still required you to think.
