4.0 out of 5 stars Maddness of Crowds, April 1, 2006

By	Ward Good (Richmond, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: hackoff.com: An Historic Murder Mystery set in the Internet Bubble and Rubble (Hardcover)

How many millions of words have been written about the mass psychosis that afflicted the investment and technology worlds at the end of the century will have to be counted by others, however, you will gain a better understanding of how and why that period happened by reading Tom Evslin's novel than by reading any articles or essays. I guess you had to be there to understand the sick joke that was played on all of us that came to be known as the bubble. Tom Evslin was there and Hackoff.com is a fun way to read about it.

By	Sarah Okeefe "voracious reader" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: hackoff.com: An Historic Murder Mystery set in the Internet Bubble and Rubble (Hardcover)

The author describes the dot-com insanity and paranoia with glee. An enjoyable read; especially fun as a blook -- the updated model of the Dickensian chapter-a-day.

This book is for you if:
* You like mysteries with twists and turns which require the last chapter to be solved
* You have lived in or are interested in the internet bubble experience. The use of stock price tracking and internet chat rooms is absolutley brilliant and a true reflection of how everyone behaved during that time.
* You just happen to like darn good books!
