i was looking around on amazon and ran across

Amazon.com: Metasploit: The Penetration Tester's Guide (9781593272883): David Kennedy, Jim O'Gorman, Devon Kearns, Mati Aharoni: Books

i was wondering if any one here has read it yet

I have both the hard copy and PDF of it. It looks like a good book so far, but it doesn't have a tremendous amount of detail on any particular topic. It's more of a broad exposure to what can be done by a pen testers using Metasploit and Meterpreter.

I'll be posting a review of it next month on my blog.

so its more of an overview over a howto

It is a "how to," but it doesn't go very far on any topic. It's not designed to make the reader an expert in anything. It only gives the reader a broad experience of what Metasploit can do.
