Book Reviews of 101 Spy Gadgets for the Evil Genius
Book Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a few other Evil Genius books and not very impressed with them. I also have "Atomic Zombie's Bicycle Builder's (and Customizer's) Bonanza" by the same authors and was surprised on their web site www.atomiczombie.com to see that they just came out with this spy gadgets book.
Evil Genius books generally tend to be too complicated, require parts that you can't usually find, too expensive to build or not very well written. This one, however, stands out as being a great book.
I saw Mission Impossible 3 recently and have to admit have always been intrigued by the world of spies and the cool gadgets those special agents use. I've always been a James Bond fan, too. With 101 Spy Gadgets, you can really build your own spy-like toys from scratch and you learn how to hack things like outdoor motion sensor lights, digital cameras, VCRs, web cameras, microscopes, telescopes, baby monitors and so on to make some pretty cool stuff!
One of my favourites are the laser gadgets and the mini video controlled robot at the end of the book. Imagine using a wok cover to amplify distant sounds and a tiny audio bug to monitor and transmit from anywhere in your home or office. There really are 101 projects in this book, great pictures, clear diagrams and instructions. The authors also give lots of great tips, background information on all of the technologies and parts used. Best of all, it won't cost you tons of money to build these projects yourself.
That's the best part. They list dozens of sources in North America and the UK on their web site where you can find all of the parts you need to make your own gadgets. And you're not expected to be a guru in any of the technologies used throughout the book. I just learned some interesting stuff about how and where my computer stores data that I thought was deleted and about keystroke loggers. There's alot of variety in this book something for everyone.
I recommend it very highly to anyone. I think this is the best book in the Evil Genius series.
