    Looking forward to it.

    I am kind of looking forward to this book as well. It will be interesting to compare Mitnick's book to Shimomura's version of the story...

    Shimomura doesn't paint Mitnick in a very good light. In fact, I wonder if mitnick will skip the part about what he did when the FBI finally caught him. (Sorry, I am not going to spoil it for you in case you haven't read the book.)
