Has anybody here read this yet? If so, is it any good?

I'm reading it.

the bad first -

His tabloid/bad TV comedian writing style is extremely annoying in places, and he makes a few slightly, well, mad points (males are dying out due to natural selection? the Northern Island problem can be solved by convincing Protestants they'll get more sex if they become Catholic? ..um, I think not).

and the good -

When he gets to listing facts, explaining the world situation in simple terms, suggesting solutions, verbally attacking the bad guys - it's fucking brilliant. Unlike, say, Chomsky, you can actually imagine a wide range of (not-previously-political) people reading this book because it's entertaining and full of jokes, and thinking "hang on, this is a bit fucked up - better do something!"

And I always like books that reinforce my political opinions.
