A waste of money 
There is nothing new from de Bono in this book.
I have great respect for Edward de Bono's work and his 6 Thinking Hats concept and I use his ideas frequently in my work but this book does him no credit.

I'll be more wary of anything with the Edward de Bono brand in the future.

Good Read
This is another good piece from DeBono. The popular concept of "six thinking hats" is addressed - just enough to understand and apply. Clearly, the first 2/3 of the book is excellent with simple examples to relate to most we do.
The last 1/3 is a bit of a drag. May be would not have made any difference if the book were thinner ;-)
Over all a good read, May be borrowing will work well than buying.
