5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 3 July 2004
By A Customer
Having read the first book in tbe series (How to own
the box), I thought I'd give this one a go. I am only halfway through it and I'm not disappointed. More of the same but on grander scale. The writers capture the mood and you really feel like you are there in each chapter. Part geek manual and part hi-tech thriller, these stories are brill. Pick it up and then try to put in down - bet you cant do it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first book, 11 May 2005
By J. McCarthy (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read the first book in the series - How to own the box - while on holiday in January and was really pleased. While some of the tech details were a little incorrect (only a little) it was a good read and I have given it to other people to give them an idea of security.
I then ordered this second book. While most of the tech details were good and I really enjoyed the ID theft and money parts, I was not too pleased with the story.
It seemed to have some story details that were forgotten about etc. so we see an investigation that falls away for no reason etc.

Still a good read (not as good as the first) and I will buy the new 'owning an ID' book that I just noticed on Amazon!

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good read, 13 Feb 2005
By A Customer
STN: How To Own a Continent is very much worth reading, but it is not nearly as good as How To Own the Box.
