Ghost in the Wires

A very entertaining man-on-the-run story even if like me, you've got limited technological knowledge. Intriguing escapades but much of the time I was wondering why this guy, who was always so sorry for hurting his loved ones by doing this, kept on doing it. Especially because there seemed to be no real reason for him continuing to hack beyond bragging rights.

Mitnick isn't particularly likable, constantly talking about other hacker's egos and arrogance, whilst saying lines like (paraphrased) “Who else but me would have the balls to hack the FBI whilst being investigated by them?” Actually, much of the excitement of the book was wondering when and how they were going to catch him.
