4.0 out of 5 stars
Great but not excellent,
By
This review is from: Ragnar's Action Encyclopedia of Practical Knowledge and Proven Techniques (Paperback)
I'll start my saying i found this book very enjoyable. It does a lot of things good but not great. There is snipits of information but certain subjects warrant more that 3 or 4 pages to accuratly describe how to do certain things, but seeing as how this book in for educational purposes only it does a fair job in making you aware of how things might work. However don't think that this is the end all be all book to how do make or do something. For example creating a new identiy/life by falsifying records/or staging a death is pretty ridiculous in todays high tech and wired world.
Again good but not great

How do you say, "Disappointing?",
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ragnar's Action Encyclopedia of Practical Knowledge and Proven Techniques (Paperback)
The book is alright, but the information that's even remotely interesting is few and far between. I just expected more, I guess. I'm just disappointed because much of this book was fluff, and not in-depth knowledge.

A ton of information, and a little bit of bull,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ragnar's Action Encyclopedia of Practical Knowledge and Proven Techniques (Paperback)
Ragnar seems to be trying to please the public, and does just that. The only problem is, he compromises his integrity somewhat by sliding in inaccurate information, wild guesses (or so it seems), and adhering to popular myth and misinformation: polystyrene and gasoline do NOT makae napalm, and I don't care if you call it 'homemade' or not, THAT'S NOT C-4!
