Reactions:
“I felt like I was reading Le Carre, the double agents, the betrayal, it was everything to remind myself that this is a true story. I have already recommended this to friends.” – Amazon Customer

“If you’re interested in a great true story on modern cybercrime, take a look at Kingpin. I finished the book in about two sittings and read every word! I hope Poulsen decides to tackle other aspects of the digital underground in future books.” – Richard Bejtlich

“The writing is very well done and would be a good read, even if you’re not technically proficient in the world of digital security. To those that may mind, the book is uncensored from the over-the-top banter that is exchanged between these online personas.” – WH

“A drawback of the book is that, despite his genius, Max Butler is a dreary, obsessive-compulsive, whose immature personality seemed never to change from his days as a teenage hacker.” – Robert H. Stine Jr.

“The story is good but the book did not flow as smooth as it could. At times the technology side was cumbersome and at other times not described deeply enough. All in all ‘decent’” – C. Bowman
