The good - if you want shadowrun lite it does offer that if your ok with things becoming even more generic.
The bad - people who want more shadowrun feel other than a big dice pool are going to be left wanting, also people who don't like large dice pools won't have any options like ubiquity and fate do, lastly it's not traditional gm or gm less it's some weird inbetween I would have preferred gm less with gm optional rules.
The ugly - I know opinionated rpg writing is all the rage right now but frankly parts of this book are insulting. It feels like it's written in places by someone who has had awful gms and awful players and need to give them all the finger.

What are your thoughts.
