In general I loved the book. I find it informative, helpful, and an interesting memoir of the life of a true identity theft redeemed.

If I had one complaint about the book at all, it would be that there was not enough of it! I found myself fascinated by the stories Mr. Hemphill told of his life, and wanted to know more about his life and the things that happened to him. Personally, I think this book, if adapted properly, would make a great movie!

This review is from: Rollin': True Confessions of a Former Identity Thief (Paperback)

I was very disappointed when I read this book. I felt like I waisted my money. Over half of this book was about Mr. Hemphill's childhood and family, blaiming society for mistreating blacks for the reason he became a "Robin Hood" [thief]! The other half of the book offers no real information about how identity theft is committed or how to protect against it. The style of writing is confusing, and, in parts, makes no sense at all. The reader is left wondering how Mr. Hemphill justifies his self-proclumation of being a "mastermind of a multi-million dollar organized identy theft ring." If you want to learn about identy theft, save your money on this book.

I agree with the person that says there is "no meat" in this text. It is funny to see that Amazon is also trying to bundle this book with the T.Carter book that is also poorly written. Both feel like blog posts by ghetto people who couldn't make it any other way in life so they dabbled in fraud. Their practices are not relevant to today and even if they were the books do not share enough detail. Their information is very speculative since they're speaking strictly from experience and guesses instead of technical research into how banking/check processing works.
