Is "Four texts on Socrates" a good book for beginners?

Philosophy

I recently picked up “Four texts on Socrates” since it is the only philosophy text available in my school library, it is comprised of Plato’s Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito, along with Aristophanes’ Clouds, and I was just wondering if this is an okay place to start with philosophical texts, and if it would be digestible and cohesive enough for even beginners in philosophy to start with?

I haven’t read it, but here is a review of the books utility;

The moderation that this understanding implies is at the heart of political philosophy, a moderation which, while being a partisan of reason, never overestimates its capa­cities and thereby never underestimates that the natural horizon of the city is that of opinion. For Strauss, reflection on Socrates could lead in our time to that conscious act which is political philosophy, and which does make a difference, although it would not lead to a simple repetition of Platonic/Socratic rhetoric and poetry.
