I bought the Kindle version and read about half of it, but I think that I'll give it back. I find Closrapexa's explanations right here on AT more insightful and written in a much more focused style and tone.
I sensed that an excited young man was writing, and as middle aged lady I was a bit irritated that he had to say a lot of good things about war and glorious destruction, went on long rants about the destructive forces of feminism, and had very little good to say about anything remotely feminine (except for maternal love - but even that might be manipulative or shallow...). The un-reflected use of gender stereotypes may be true to Crowley (have to read the Book of Thoth again) but I found it just as irritating as I find books that see all the virtues on the side of the Eternal Feminine. I dislike gender bashing, the world is too full of it already, in all directions.
As Hebrew speaker, I find consistent use of the plural sephirot even where the singular, sephira, would have been appropriate, quite disturbing. It was more than a typo - I had the feeling as though he was not really familiar with the word. Well, maybe I'm too pedantic.
Interesting though was his view on Western spirituality from the outside. And reading the book inspired me to take out all those lists and diagrams I made years ago, before discovering the Internet, with elements, signs, houses and planets.
The book needs strict editing - there are so many tangents that it's sometimes difficult to find the insightful gems. The structure of the book is good, and the explanation of the tree of life, too. I also appreciated the structure and complexity of the Thoth, and how much it resembles the Hebrew language: by analyzing the structure (the word or the card) you can understand why it looks the way it looks. You only have to know the rules.
Henry Ho takes care of the Kabbalah and Astrology, and he hardly mentions the actual image we see. He says so from the outset and I understand and accept that he wants to counterbalance the many "intuitive" readers who overlook the underlying structure of the deck and simply follow the images. I myself need both, and I would have appreciated a combination of both parts - the way Banzhaf tries. But this is not what Ho set out to do and I can't blame him it, I understand his reasoning.
But when you take your cards and connect the four different trees, where מלכות of the fire tree (10 of wands) transmutes into the כתר of the water tree (Ace of cups), you can SEE in the image how Frieda Harris connected them. They really flow into each other visually. That was a nice discovery, and the fact that I trimmed my deck really helped me connecting them in a chain.
Nevertheless, I guess I'll wait for Closrapexa's ebook about Thoth.
