At first when I looked at it, I said, "Whoa, this is really changing the game!". But then, change can be a good thing.
I don't plan to run clerics, druids, rangers, or paladins with this book, but I can see running an arcane spellcaster with it. For bards, I would recommend checking out the Book of Eldritch Might 2 by Malhavoc Press.
That said, it looks like it makes wizards/sorcerers the way that I wish they were in the first place. It makes them cool. No more memorizing your spells. Instead you get spell points (a lot like psionic power points). In such a campaign you could drop the divine and psionic powers altogether.
After I get used to the system I plan to come up with a few more spell lists (i.e. when I notice that I want a given spell effect).
This book makes me excited to play a mage again!
