Risky topic, but Br. Krebs hits it out of the park

Revisado: 12-21-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Not only would I recommend it to my Cyber Security Colleagues, I will and have recommended it to a number of technical & non-technical & Leadership professionals that can use the stories in Brian's book to put some context around many of the things we encounter everyday...anywhere from a DDOS attack, phishing email or stolen credit card numbers.

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed the level of detail that Brian was able to provide - you can't make this stuff up! It takes a great story teller to explain the technical crud and avoid putting your audience to sleep. Brian does a good job grabbing you, let go a few times, and then loops everything back around in the end.

Which scene was your favorite?

I really liked That he was crazy enough to travel overseas and meet some of these people...it's not for the faint of heart, and I will bet that Brian was much more nervous than he let on.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

unfortunately, I have a bit of a personal conection to a few chapters from the book...not with Mr. Krebs, although I have seen him at a couple industry events. My biggest reaction was more of - ahaaa, that is why this stopped happening, or "that explains a lot".

Any additional comments?

I did the kindle and audio versions, the audio was great, but I had to get past the Russian narratives, after a while, ey just became funny parts of the story...as They were probably meant to be.

Good book, poor narration.

Would you try another book from Peter Block and/or Erik Synnestvedt?

Yes - this book has some very good content, but I got so frustrated that I had to go buy the Kindle version and listen to the text to speech voice rather than trying to listen to the narrator on Audible. I listened to the demo, but didn't realize how aggravating the pauses would become.

Who was your favorite character and why?

n/a

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator continously whined and paused at the end of every sentence so you couldn't get a flow from the message.

Was Flawless Consulting worth the listening time?

No.

Getting started in stocks?

Revisado: 03-05-08

I was very disappointed in this book - only because reading the forward and introduction gave me a false sense that it would give me some insight into making the leap from "hobby stock/option buyer" to a full time career trading for a living.
The book is probably good for someone without a grasp of how the markets work - the author repeats themes several times throughout the book - again, this is beneficial to those who didn't get it the first 2 or 3 times.
What you won't see is examples on how to manage your stake/money, how to handle a slump, percentages and risk management as these are much higher end topics than this book is written for.
