Currency Wars - Anyone read this book?

Has anyone read this book? Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis by Jim Rickards. I like these type of finance books, as they play out different fictional scenarios. Anyway, he seems to have a legit background/resume. Bloomberg's review is in the link below. Thoughts? I'm thinking about Kindle-ing it.

I ordered it on amazon yesterday. I discovered Jim Rickards about 2 weeks ago so it's pretty convenient he just released a book. Guy is extremely smart and has a legit background. I posted a thread about him last week but no one seems to have heard of him. There's a speech of his on youtube that is pretty comprehensive and lays out alot of what he prob talks about in the books. Scary stuff.
