Where to Go from Here
The book is structured so that you can jump in anywhere. If you aren't familiar with software architecture, I suggest that you start with the first part. If you already know about software architecture but aren't sure what patterns are, start with Chapter 4 and progress through Part II.
Each chapter in Parts III and IV discusses a different pattern. None of these chapters depends on your having read any other chapter. You'll see some cross-references between chapters, but they're provided to help you dig deeper and understand your options; they aren't there to point out that you should have read something else beforehand.
