I purchased this book on a Tuesday morning and finished it by the next afternoon. I simply could not lay it down. I’ve been studying Software Engineering in college since April and was fascinated with how Stoll’s book fit all of the pieces together from all of my classes. I recommend this book to everyone but especially to people with an interest in computer networks, software engineering, as well as computer and Internet security.
I actually enjoyed the folksy pieces of the book too. They helped me see Cliff Stoll as a person trying to live a normal Californian life only to be totally changed by this experience.

I read it a few years ago and had a similar experience to you: I bought a copy on a Friday afternoon on the way home from work and finished it at about 3am the following morning!
