The paper under review is a sound and thorough presentation of results concerning the level sets of the norm of the Witten spinor in an asymptotically flat spin manifold of positive scalar curvature. The author shows curvature estimates, which quantify, if the total mass becomes small, that the manifold becomes flat with the exception of a set of small surface area, instead of a small volume as in previous papers [\textit{H. Bray} and \textit{F. Finster}, Commun. Anal. Geom. 10, No.~2, 291--306 (2002; Zbl 1030.53041); \textit{F. Finster} and \textit{I. Kath}, Commun. Anal. Geom. 10, No.~5, 1017--1031 (2002; Zbl 1041.53027)]. The given estimates require either a volume bound or a spectral bound for the Dirac operator on a conformal compactification and are independent of the isoperimetric constant.
