Can anyone offer an (informed) opinion on Peter Gaprindashvili's "Critical Moments in Chess?"

Yes, I read the review a while back. I was hoping for a personal opinion from some ambitious player with GM in his sights. The ability to make bold decisions at crucial turning points is one of the attributes of the stronger player. I haven't yet quite seen anything by way of literature to satisfy me. I glanced at the Gaprindashvili book briefly at the Chess and Bridge Shop in Baker Street some months ago -- I should have looked at it more closely. Until and unless someone like John Nunn or Mark Dvoretsky devotes a book to this area, I suppose it will have to do.
