This was a very interesting / entertaining story / recount of Kevin Mitnick's life hacking/phone phreaking. I felt the way it was written felt more like someone actually retelling their story and less "for suspense or drama" type foreshadowing and cliff hanging.
Those who understand computers, networks, etc will probably find this more than somewhat humorous. Most will find his exploits somewhat fascinating. Worth the read.
Ok, off to whistle in the phone... well, I better not just in case. ...more

A good story well told. Fast moving and suspenseful. I believe most of it but know there is probably about 20% that he couldn't tell. He is lucky that he didn't spend longer in prison. He was in Raleigh years after I was but it added some interest for me. Recommended if you have ever written a piece of code
