I ran TTA about two years ago. Yes, it does make the job a lot easier. The
book is divided into a lot of small adventures, actually very much like a
mystery novel where you are fed small pieces of information and clues until
you finally grasp what is going on. The adventure, or rather the adventures
are quite good and you really don't have to do much work for a year or so.

There are no actual errors in the book, or at least not many, but you have to
adjust the adventures to your campaign anyway. First of all there is a lot of
side stories beside the major story so you have to plan ahead maybe two or
three adventures all the time. If you have a campaign of your own going on,
maybe you want to use TTA as a part of that. In that case you really must
consider which equipment and characters you must bring into, or out of your
campaign before you can begin with TTA.

My advice to you is that you should read the book through at least two times.
When you have done that you can draw a plan over which adventures you are going
to run in which order. You will probably have to make one or two adventures
of your own based on the information from the book halfway through the story,
or you can play them by the seat of your pants, so to speak. All depends on
how much work you want to put into the story.

So, sure, use it. Your players will certainly appreciate it, or at least the
rewards if they manage to solve the problem without getting killed.
