Book Review: Don't waste your time or money
Summary: 2 Stars
When I bought this I knew it wouldn't be an actual spy guide but I figured it would make interesting reading with one or two ideas I might be able to apply to life - nothing serious but I gave it a go. Firstly it is *very* americanised which will spoilt it for some. Secondly it doesn't actually tell you anything. 99% is based on common sense. For example when it talks about interrogation, it advises "If you don't believe your subject's answers, try more direction questions". I mean come on, how lame is that?
Good luck if you buy it because I promise you'll only ever read it once, assuming you make it to the end of the book.
