I recently read some parts of this book and found it to be quite engaging. I later found out that this has also been greeted with a 'conspiracy of silence' in western intellectual circles. Hence, it will probably never find it's way to India - though someone should publish Indian-language versions (specially in Malayalam Rajeev)
It is a better effort than the recent James Cameron-Simca Jacobovici Jesus grave discovery, as it is a frontal rather than a peripheral attack on the fundamental Christian Doctrine of the 'only son of god'. The author contends that all the myths about Jesus were pre-existing in the mythology of ancient Egyptians, and Jesus to that extent is a literalist construct of underlying Pagan beliefs (hence the name Pagan Christ).
It is also a great description of how the Christism-parasite lives of the cultural glucose of it's host cultures while destroying them at the same time. Also listen to an interview with the author here

ghostwriter, n s rajaram has written some good stuff about this as well. the stealing of earlier myths for the jesus mythology is well documented. in particular, mitra, horus and krishna stories.
note, for instance:
1. virgin birth of the pandavas: cf jesus
2. the child karna being floated on a basket of reeds: cf. moses
3. the cruel king, uncle of krishna, who kills all babies: cf. the roman governor
and so on and so forth.
clearly, christists were very good plagiarists from day one. easier to steal other's ideas than come up with one's own.
