This book is definately worth a read, though I would suggest either reading Pegg or Buckley' books which span Bowie's whole career first. You will find Bowie in Berlin goes into more depth, so you won't be re-reading the same information.
Bowie in Berlin gives a good introduction into how Low arrived by covering Bowie's time in LA and a detailed account of his time touring and recording with Iggy Pop.
The books strongest point though is the detailed techinal analysis of each song from 'The Idiot' to 'Heroes', it could of been improved if Lodger had recieved the same treatment.
There is a good conclusion of the impact of the Berlin Trilogy's impact and legacy. Overall an enjoying read.
