OK, after refusing to buy this book for nearly two years, I relented and bought it. Why? I did not intend to make Mitnick a rich person, nor did I believe he had something worthwhile to say.

To be truthful, the book could have been worse. The writing is OK and the message is worth telling. Unfortunately, it could have been told in 50 pages instead of 300+ pages, so you become bored very easily while reading this book.

You should probably have read it, but it is no way a classic.
