Does anyone on my FL know anything about The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression by Amity Shlaes?

I haven't read it, but I've read reviews of it. It takes the view, I'm told, that the New Deal extended and worsened the Great Depression, and otherwise made a mess of things, which may be largely true. I don't know how well it is written, or its level of scholarship, but I don't recall seeing any major complaints on those grounds.
