What I liked most about this book is its easy and simple reading. It does not get you confused with technical language that the average person does not understand. It also showed me some computer techniques that I was able to use right away from my own computer to do things like track down emails and the origin of fake Websites. I showed my friends some of the things I learned from the book and they were impressed with me. The book is very good for reference if you are trying to find things about a Website or someone using the Internet. The book shows tools and things about the Internet that you can do with your own computer without having to buy expensive special software. I really enjoyed this book.

This book is best used to complement the more complicated computer forensic books. It is written in simple language and it serves as a bridge to those more complex books. I use it frequently as a reference manual and for the price, it is well worthy.

This book is definitely an excellent start for beginners interested in learning about computer forensics. I hope the authors next book would have more detailed techniques. I recommed this book to get you thinking about the basics of computer forensics. It was very helpful to me.

Don't waste your money on this one. There is more information on wikiopedia than in this book. This is just a Glorified FAQ.
Personally I'm a little pissed at the description. There are no techniques or guidance given at all. I couldn't even use it to write a report. I don't think the authors are any kind of experts at all.
