DislikedHe has 1144 posts on this forum, a deleted thread about stop hunting (restored) on his site, there are thousand's of post by people who followed him, Research papers and other books that have been quoted many times in discussions. All of this stuff is free and available for everyone to make use of it.
People are too lazy to work (hard) on the "free" stuff scattered all over the net and they dont want to pay for a book which has same information concentrated in one place.
What to do?

"Both.. but it really doesn't matter what I do."
Thanks for the reply. But it does matter to me. If you dont practice what you preach then it tends to undermine the content.
[font=Verdana][color=black]Lastly, and I appreciate that I'm outstaying my welcome, being predominantly a news trader, has the content of your book got particular validity ? Of course its got validity but I wondered if you touched on the subject of news in any way as I'd suggest that order...
We mainly use news events as a catalyst for changing sentiment. Sentiment drives the directional bias in prices, which allows us to determine whether we look for long or short positions... then we use OFT principles to define entries and exits. All of this is covered in the book...

Time for me to give reviews 
1st. This book is not for total noobs. You have to know the basic at least. But this what makes the book got it best, it bridges you between the basic knowledge to the advanced knowledge. You may see many basic forex lesson and many advanced economic analysis out there, but there are few who provide about how to tie the economic analysis to the forex market. This book cover them well.
2nd. This book is about what happen behind the markets. What moves them, how one things could move the others. After you read this book you will gain insight about how the market works and it gives you more edges for your trading strategies and capabilities to absorb market knowledge. I must be honest, i couldn't even understand what Al-Brooks is saying in his Reading Price Charts book before i read Darkstar's Order Flow book
3rd. This book gives you a bit of technical strategy of order flow you could use. They're working well and may gives you idea to create your own
4th. and last, honestly, i have to say $150 for this book price is not worth. But adding member's forum and member's chat sure make it worth. Darkstar will kindly answer every single of your curiosity. How's that not worth it? having a pro to answer your question and tutor you
Well, that's my thought.
Happy trading!

I have it.
First of all, let me say this (because I know there are some excited newbies, I used to be one): If you think it is a book or a forum is going to make you a more profitable trader, you are wrong and naive.
Having said that, here's my honest review:
As others have pointed out it's not worth the price. It's was a bit too hyped. I was expecting more (longer, less basic, more in depth). The book in itself is nice, but if you can read Darkstar's post, study the basics of market microstructure, and do some of your own thinking and studying of the market (both of which you need to do anyway, with or without the book) then you really don't need the book anymore. You won't find any secret/new orderflow-related insight. It's basically just the same stuff organized in one place.
The forum is nice, but not very active, it's mostly the chatroom that's active. I checked it out a couple months ago or so, but I lost the link/password and I'm too lazy to find them and go back in.
Would I buy it again? I don't know, maybe I would. But that's mostly because I don't give a shit. Darkstar is a cool guy, a good trader and, in this case, a smart salesman
(there is a clear intention to make money/maximize profit here, and there is nothing wrong with that, but I can't help but think that as pros it's trading we would seek to make money from, not charging for information).
If you want the material in one place in a more organized, accessible, newbie-friendly way and don't mind the price, go for it. But if you can't afford the $150 or it's too much for you at the moment or whatever, don't feel bad. You can do without it.
