I've never heard of it, let alone read it, but from the two reviews posted on that page it looks pretty interesting.

Of course I don't know what his tastes are, but if someone gave me something like that I'd certainly read it.

Here's the book I want:

http://www.amazon.com/Reluctant-Admi...0372854&sr=8-1

No way would I pay that much for it, nor allow someone else to pay.
