• This book is full of critical errors and omissions AVOID this book
  I bought this book (3rd edition) at a modest price from a really great Amazon vendor, Jennifer's Attic. However, it is by far the worst textbook that I have ever used in my life.

  I found way too many problems with this text. I perform computer forensics investigations for a living, and would not recommend this book. There is too much focus on the DriveSpy program, and much of the information is repeated from chapter to chapter. This is an example of the reviewers not actually taking a look at the book. Your best bet is to purchase the book by Warren Kruse.

  If the authors read these reviews...
  switch editors... maybe even publishers if it's possible...
  switch to more mainstream tools for your examples...
  re-edit before releasing a second edition
