I think a good book that is closer to Andrew NG's course would be the An Introduction to Statistical Learning (ISL)[1]

Depending on your learning style, Data Science from Scratch[2] might be another good option.

BTW, neither of these uses Octave like Andrew NG's course does. The first one uses R and the second uses Python.
