It's a great book; I splurged on this because it appeared hot off the presses while I was working on the Book of Thoth article. I didn't end up using much of it in the article, but did take some notes, Tweeted about it a little, and will probably do something with it down the line. Stricker, you know, had a very weird thesis about this book, that it details the return into flesh, a kind of esoteric embryology, as it were. Nobody really buys that, but it is clearly a different sort of book than the other afterlife literature, and there is work to be done understanding its significance.
