4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 20 April 2000
By A Customer
I was pretty impressed by this book. It had some great characters, the technology and the way in which it was used was believable (and scary! ) and the plot was quite feasible. Not quite a true classic but a damn good read on rainy day!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read - very enjoyable., 28 Mar 2000
By VJ (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I can't remember why I bought this, but I am glad I did.

I am a Forensic Computing specialist, and for once didn't cringe whilst reading a book about computer crime. In fact the book re-inforced my opinion that there is no such thing as 'computer crime' - just crime using computers.

The book was well written, and technically fairly accurate, although I would take issue with a few points.

However, this book could be read by anyone - the author has obvioulsy put a great deal of care into the book to ensure that you don't need a PHD in computer science in order to understand the book.

At Amazons' price, it is well worth buying - take my word for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars engrossing and well-crafted, 4 Jun 1998
By A Customer
I usually read while working out on a stationary bike for 30 minutes. Anything to take my mind off exercise ... looking down while reading Killer.app, I saw that I had been at it for 50 minutes. I bought another copy for a friend, who went takeoff - landing on the redeye from LA to NY completely immersed. Excellent read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read for mystery readers!
This is a great read -- a fresh crime, and what diabolical minds at work. It makes the world of computers and the Internet very scary, and you'll think twice every time you use... Read more
