Reader Reviews
What I liked most about this book is its easy and simple reading. It does not get you confused with technical language that the average person does not understand. It also showed me some computer techniques that I was able to use right away from my own computer to do things like track down emails and the origin of fake Websites. I showed my friends some of the things I learned from the book and they were impressed with me. The book is very good for reference if you are trying to find things about a Website or someone using the Internet. The book shows tools and things about the Internet that you can do with your own computer without having to buy expensive special software. I really enjoyed this book.
