Is pic related a good read?

If the topic interests you, yes. I'd trust Elaine Pagels. She's studied this stuff most her life.

I have this, put together by some of the same people. There's essays introducing every book, extensive footnotes, and they let you know when they're guessing on translations when things are missing/unclear in the original. A minor complaint I have is that they attempt to introduce gender neutrality when it wasn't in the original, which leads to awkward phrases like "child of humanity" instead of "son of man," but at least they're transparent about it and footnote it.

Just go to wikipedias New Testament apocryptha page. It's got everything that book has.
