The Gates Of The Necronomicom, What did you think of this book? Options

Hello All,
I've recently read the newest book book by Simon. I suppose its a good source of information when it talks about Gate walking; even providing Daoist views of that. Its gives a quick crash course in Ancient civilizations and a unique view of the Big Dipper in reference to the Necronomicom. It gives dates and times perfect for Gate Walking so those interested in such will have a good resource.
Now for all the praise I just gave the book here comes the pain. I didn't like it. The reason I didn't like it is because It didn't give me what I was hoping for. I'm a ceremonial magician and I do rever and respect the Elder Gods, But I'm not a priest by any means. So when I picked up this volume, I had hoped that this text would be somewhat like a grimoire and its not. So thats what I think of the Book. What do you think?

The victory over the Serpent was therefore not a moral victory at all; it was simply a military victory. One side just happened to win; no moral point intended. The is particularly clear in the oldest - sumerian - version of the myth, where the young Gods symbolized by Marduk made so much noise that their parents couldn't sleep, so the latter tried to kill the former. The sumerians praised Marduk because he won the battle, not because he was morally superior.

The whole chapter reads like both want the human race destroyed, we have to take the knowledge they give up in order to escape.
