Dwight Hulse's Summary:

Forgotten Heroes reintroduces the Barbarian, Bard, Druid, and Monk classes to the game, and offers up, as Goodman Games products often seem to, a number of pleasantly surprising bits of crunch to supplement the work and add to its merit.

The Forgotten Hero's barbarian is a defender? Isn't the playtest barbarian from Wizards of the Coast a striker? Not that this makes one of the versions wrong or anything, but it seems like they would have to be put together pretty differently in order to fulfill different roles.

Wow, interesting. As i found the book not good myself.

Very clunky, not showing an particular good understanding of 4e (as a system & what it tries to accomplish), with lotsa 3.x-isms, & elements that kill its compatibility with anything else (like the Druid having her very own 2 kinds of Implements, when Staff & something could easily have been used).
