Even if you just read through it it will still give you insight that sometimes tutorials cant and a tutorial cannot give you the "how" and "why" for a lot of features. Just a read through will allow you to answer your own questions later with a "I remember reading about that in that Gentle Introduction book, let me go check it out again".
