I've never really homebrewed before, and I want to try it out. Would one of these be worth the money? It seems like the perfect size to try it out!

The size I linked to is perfect for him I think, 1 US gallon, maybe a bit more. And Extract. I use that and it works fine for me (10-12 bottles each brew) and then if he likes it and wants to go All Grain, it's not much of an equipment investment to do so. 40 pint ones are just too large really. had a look at that link and maybe i just try and source it all individually (though the demijohn is out of stock), just a shame that the kit I was given was perfect and had all the gear aside from the kettle.
Edit - Actually this doesn't have the bottles etc but everything else, I think: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brooklyn-Brew-Shop-Chocolate-Porter/dp/B007R2T0MS/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=brooklyn+brew&qid=1573655714&s=kitchen&sr=1-5
Where to start is a hard question to ask because it also depends on your budget. I think I got all my first brew stuff for around $300 but I also got more than I really needed. I would say if you're actually looking to start this as a long term hobby rather than justs "for fun" would be to get stuff for an all-grain set-up because you can start with extract brewing and then ease your way into all-grain. Don't get me wrong, you can brew great beers forever with extract, but once you want to develop your own recipes, it's much more customizable with an all-grain equipment.
If you want to just see if this is something you want to get into, check this out: Brooklyn Brewery
If you want to start with 5 gallons, but not all-grain yet (you can always add on), look at this: Extract Brew Kit - NB.
This is great because you can even do it on a home stove, opposed to just having a propane burner for it (I started brewing in my dorm room on a stove).
