I have read the book myself, and it is not a book that claims "I will teach you seven languages in seven weeks", but the author introduces the reader to basic concepts in each language (prototypal inheritance, functional programming) and shows some aspects where each language has its advantages, e.g. concurrency, logical rules. That said, the title may be misleading.
The title does not say « teach yourself seven languages in seven days », and then « teaching yourself » does not even imply a certain degree of proficiency. But we are trained to deduce unreasonable expectations from terse book titles and then blame that on the publishers.
