Thoughts on Monkey Business book?

Just finished reading Monkey Business by John Rolfe and Peter Troob. I loved the back-and-forth writing and thought their stories were great. Curious as to what other people thought of the book and/or how well it matches up with IB today (apart from obvious technological advancements etc)?
