In a word, no.

It's not that it's a terribly bad book, but it's a rather dry and scholarly account of the myths, doesn't relate them in full, but does give an interesting perspective on how the myths are and were expressed in some other cultural practices of the region.

I liked this edition, but any version of the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda should do for a start.
