If you are scientist, engineer, or techie, it is worth a borrow and a quick read. Not a reference book, thanks to that, but more of the background of “where units of measurement came from”.

I tried to finish this. Could not get past the delivery of facts, facts, and things that are to prove a position. It didn't read well. This seems intended for an audience that is more into the scholarship and wants to dive more into the details.

Definitely worth checking out if you have a BlackBerry phone. I picked up two handy tips reading through this book.

I gave up on this book after 8 chapters. The writing just didn't seem to have a flow, and that quality is not good for a biography of a critical figure in late 1700 - early 1800's North America.

Cube dwellers everywhere should read this book. Ther are plenty of examples that will remind you of someone or some event at work.

Books about an author are never as good as books by the author, but it is interesting to get some details outside of the writings.

Not nearly as good as the earlier ‘Dilbert Principle', I found it a disappointment after reading the earlier book and the cartoon strip for many years.

If you're an X-Files fan, then you will surely like this book.
The authors nail Mulder's smart-assed sense of humor and Scully's skeptical view of Mulder's theories. You can picture watching this on TV as you read it, very image forming descriptions.

Worthwhile read. Very little religiousness to get in the way of spiritual being. Recommend reading this to help bring an inner peace.

I enjoyed it....until that annoying little girl and her even more annoying dog showed up.

Very good, much better than I had expected.

About a techie FBI agent who takes on a case involving what seems to be the computer network virus of the millennium. The technology covered is very believable and the story takes a few neat turns, but overall, it ended up seeming like a subtle new age religion work.

A new friend recommended this out of a gaming discussion. Very good! I am beginning to like this sort even more now.

I so hate Hollywood for ruining this book for me. I could not read it without any imagery from the films leaking into my head.

Maybe in a few years I could come back to it and read it once again without the taint.
