The book is interesting. I has some really good points regarding how the NT uses the OT. It is not that much about LXX vs Masoretic, but about why the apostles and Jesus quoted from the passages they did and the presuppositions around it. For example, when Matthew quoted "Out of Egypt I called My Son.", but when you go to the passage in the OT, you are puzzled how this passage was about the Christ. The book explains all of that. No need to know Hebrew and Greek.
