Pages are really, REALLY thin and flimsy. You will not be able to draw on the back of your pages unless you want to see the drawings from the reverse side through your new work. If you still want this sketchbook, know that you'll need to put a thicker sheet of paper under every page you work on because even medium pressure will make dents on the opposite page, rendering that one (and possibly a couple more below it) useless too. It's only good for light pencil work. If you do a lot of quick pencil sketches on the go, you might like this. But even in that case there are better small sketchbooks out there.
