My copy arrived a few days ago and I've read a few pages and skimmed over some random chapters/pages and so far, it's a very interesting book. I'm hoping to read the entire book soon and hopefully provide a detailed review.

I look forward to hearing the review Data. I love the cover, that's a good start heh. After I finish my xfit cert and my cissp, that might be a good 'cool down' book heh.

That didn't stop me, I still bought it.
Got my copy a few weeks ago, but haven't gotten to it yet. Actually other than the web, which is mostly Here, email, hockey game twitter and the toool forum (as far as I use it these days), I haven't read much at all.

Can someone write a short review of this book? I am interested, but unsure at the moment...
I saw a review stating:
Quote
This book is not written for people in the security field, nor is it really written for people who want to know more about their personal security.
And...
Quote
Overall the three things I took from this book are: 1) shred your trash so dumpster divers can't find sensitive information; 2) don't use company email for non-business matters because SE's can use that information to create enticing emails with malware hidden in them; and 3) every time you put information onto anything - Facebook, hobby sites, fan clubs, even Amazon - there are many software packages out there that SE's can use to collect all that information and make profiles to use against you.
So, I am not that sure about it...

Those quotes were only from one Amazon review. 31 of the 34 current reviews are 5 stars, and I recognize a few of those names from the infosec industry. I've only picked up the book and read through it for about 4hrs while at Barnes and Noble one day, but from what I was able to read it was not as bad as that reviewer made it out to be. Nothing against Kevin Mitnick, but I'd say "very broad, no depth" would apply better to "Art of Deception" when compared to this book.

Thanks lorddicranius
I tend to only read bad reviews because I find I rarely learn anything useful from the 5 stars. But that being said, I can make up my own mind and not just believe everything they say!
