Your review resonates with me so accurately. I have done my graduation in IT, and yet I cannot read a book that is solely based on this field of work. I don't mind reading a novel that has a little bit of added romance/thriller along with Cybersecurity/Technology. I couldn't finish reading the sample as I found it a bit boring after a certain point. Kudos to you on finishing reading the sample of this book.Donna Walker wrote: ↑01 Jun 2023, 22:31 I really love the cover of this book and the title. It is a book that I would pick up in a store or click on online based on the cover, but having said that, I'd probably put it down rather quickly too when I realised what it was about. I'm not tech-savvy enough to understand most of it. So genre-wise, it is not a fit for me.
The OBC review was really good, but I'm still not sure I would be able to understand the book. Cybersecurity is something that I am concerned about, though, so I am grateful that there are people out there who do know what they are talking about and are fighting on the frontlines to keep our information secure. The sample was interesting; there was a memoir element to the book, setting it up for who is giving the advice that follows. I like how the author mentioned that most cybersecurity problems stem from tech personnel fighting their own internal war with their own egos and generally lacking social skills. This rings true to me because of the friends that I have in IT. I found no errors in the sample, so I assume that it has been professionally edited. There was nothing that I disliked either; it's just not a subject that I think I would enjoy deep diving into, and I probably wouldn't understand most of it anyway! haha
I will recommend this book to all of my tech-savvy friends. I'm sure they will love it and hopefully learn something valuable that can help them in their work.

If I complete reading this book and I'm willing to leave a review.
Do I do it here only or do I have to wait for this book to show up on my review list?
