It's a great book. He does not specifically give reason as to the calf. But he does offer a great deal of alternative interpretations. I'm still a die hard Rashi fan when it comes to commentary.

FWIW, his new book, The Exodus, is quite interesting as well.
We did a forum book group on The Exodus last year. I was really impressed by it.
