Summary: The Ethical Version of the Kevin Mitnick Story
Review: Written by a journalist who was in regular contact with Kevin, as opposed to a journalist who was part of the team trying to catch him (Takedown). Fugitive Game is the exciting and often moving story of Kevin Mitnick, who in this book seems more like an overgrown kid than the evil mastermind he's made out to be elsewhere. It's given particular poignance now when you realize how long Mitnick spent in jail for what was (in the end) a minor array of crimes. Lots of government and law enforcement idiocy thrown in for humorous spice. Good read.

Summary: Every story has more than one side
Review: The story of Kevin Mitnick from the journalist who claims to be closest to him. A very different slant than the Shimomura/ Markoff book. Maybe Kevin isn't so bad after all? Maybe Shimomura deliberately trapped him just to sell his story? Why would a leading computer security expert leave the r-services running on a host known to contain cool stuff, and have tripwire running only as a logger, not as a filter, and furthermore, when the system was so insecurely configured, why copy the logfiles to another system automatically? If I was building a honeypot, that's what I'd do.This book raises many questions about a strange episode that will probably never be completely understood. Unlike Shimomura, Littman makes compelling arguments and gives the impression of being somewhat unbiased on the subject of Mitnick.

Summary: Good book for the non-hacker community
Review: An honest book from a third party. Littman does a good job of keeing your interest while clearly pointing out that he doesn't take any sides on the issue. A good, quick read.

Summary: This is the best book of it's type...
Review: Jonathan Littman has a great book here. The facts are reported in a refreshingly honest manner and I personally think it portrays Kevin Mitnick fairly.I think that even John Markoff would have to agree that writers should just report the facts like Littman has.

Summary: Raises many concerns about how we're policed on the Internet
Review: Littman raises many important questions in this riveting book which not only suggests but gives hard evidence that the rights of the "holy few" (Markoff/Shimomura) outrank the rights of the many. It shows the legal system being trampled on in a witch hunt prompted by inflated claims of losses which were simply exploded figures that were unsubstantiated. Although, as one reviewer previously claimed, the book does not discuss the how-to's of bypassing Unix system security it does talk about many aspects (social engineering) and points to many resources anyone interested in the security of their Unix machine could go to. (Just read between the lines) What says it all is the excellent reviews this book has had by others in comparison to the Markoff/Shimomura book. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Summary: This book is worth the read and VERY entertaining
Review: The Fugitive Game: Online with Kevin Mitnick, in my opinion, is an excellent book. Jonathan Littman wrote it in a very professional and smooth way. I would request that everybody read this book. those of you who are into the "true crime" genre will love it, and those of you who liked the film "The Fugitive" will also love it. Jonathan Littman deserves much recognition for this book.

Summary: A book about hackers, but not about hacking
Review: After reading Littman's "The Watchman" this book comes as a disappointment. I expected a complete story of Kevin Mitnick hacking. I would like to have read about what he did and how he did it. Sure, the book is crammed with anecdotes, but there is no nice t o read story. The book has been written from the interviewer's point of view. How he talked to Kevin, Eric Heinz and others. This is not a book about hacking, but about the life of hackers and FBI informers.

Summary: FBI Scapegoat - Kevin Mitnick
Review: This book is the best!! Here is a book that tells you how the hacker worked. It is incredilbe at what this guy can do with telephones, computers, etc... virtually anything electronic. He is one of the best hackers of our time!! Kevin is someone who seeks information to learn how it works like true hackers not to destroy it. This tells you the story of how things were when the internet was in it's infancy and how Kevin would use his excellent skills in Social Engineering. It tells you how the hacker was setup by the FBI as a scapegoat to be made an example of for all hackers to see. Defitnetly worth recommending and also check out...billiant hacker.

Summary: An inside look at the personnality of Mitnick
Review: Incredible story. "The Fugitive Game" takes you away from mainstream medias disinformation and give you an inside look at how a computer hacker really thinks and acts. Littman, from an non-biased point of vue, leads the reader into a fantastic (and uncanny) journey into the mind of Mitnick. A must for all, computer purists or not.
