I think so too. I remember reading Larry Wall's Perl book. I found it rambling and incoherent. Didn't hold my interest for too long. Kernighan's books are quite different.
The book is not too different from the language, ahem.
OTOH, C is not my favorite language, but the K&R C book is the best technical writing I remember reading.
You found Larry Wall's Perl book rambling and incoherent?
And you a professed book-lover? Are you aware that different book authors have different styles? (Ofc you do.)
Or that Perl is a language, a set of creators and authors, and an ecosystem that does not feel the need to toe the line of the conventional, in fact, disregards it in favor of exploring different styles / options / methods?
Explain yourself, Sir Noufal, or pistols at dawn in Buckingham Park. Okay, your choice of weapons. I shall come armed with the Camel book, nothing else ;)
