At first I was attracted to this book because the word 'spam' popped out at me. Being a geeky girl, I just HAD to pick it up. The concept of a man who responds to junk e-mails seemed unusual and even comical. One thing I liked very much was that Land actually got a man that sends out spam e-mails for a living to write the foreword. It was amusing, bordering on shocking, to get a view from the 'other side'. I started reading enthusiastically, but my enthusiasm waned rapidly.

It was amusing, bordering on shocking, to get a view from the 'other side'. I started reading enthusiastically, but my enthusiasm waned rapidly. The e-mails Land shows become repetitive not even 2 chapters in. With this book I discovered that a good plot is very important when it comes to keep me interested in a book. If you can stand a book that has no other goal than amusing you with quick bits of humor, you could make this your next coffee table/bathroom book. I do not recommend this if you like books that stick to one coherent storyline. On the bright side, it did make me chuckle a few times...it isn't the wost I've read. ...moreFeb 07, 2010
The author decided to get even with spammers by engaging them in conversation - via email. Some of the exchanges are hysterical, some aren't really that entertaining to anyone other than the author. Still, a good, fluffy read.Jan 23, 2012
Mildly entertaining. There are some very funny responses and correspondence with spammers. Overall the book isn't worth picking up though. There are better things to read out there.Sep 29, 2007
Never really got through much of this...funny, but just got kind of monotonous after awhile...kinda gimmicky, not surprisingly, I suppose.Take your time and choose the perfect book.
