Title: Great Book-- Wrong Title
Review: I loved this book but viewed it more as a coming of age tale than a hacker's manual. It's about growing from a mixed up, sometimes shallow, youth into a man, with all the adventures that entails. The reader can actually see the protagonist growing, step by step, hit or miss, toward honor and maturity. It's fascinating! Why does one person succeed while another fails?The title, "Hacker Cracker", is confusing however. Hacking is just a small part of Mr. Nuwere's adventures. And I do agree that the blacking out of text in one section is frustrating (They could have thought of some other way to get around the problem.)I still think the book is well worth reading. It's one of the most interesting books I've read this year, and I read alot.
Is the review positive or negative?
