Review written by: David Taylor From Wilsonville, OR
Excellent book! Real-to-life, creative thinking, lessons build upon themselves as you go through the book. It mirrored some of the things I've been through during 20+ years of HW/SW debug and Customer Support roles. I HIGHLY recommend this book and feel it
should be required reading either during school or as new employees in relevant positions.

Loved it!
Review written by: Carol S. Lewis From Oriskany, VA USA
I loved reading this book. I learned a lot about debugging and thought the "novel" (in both senses of the word) format was great. In addition to being a good engineer, the author handled the characterization and plot lines very well. As an E.E. and also a big fan of reading mystery novels, I thought it was a satisfying and unique experience to do both at once! It's so rare that the insider view of what being an engineer is like is presented like this--the emotional content of being an engineer and being faced with the kinds of problems that come up every day. My hat's off to the author!

A new method and style to write engineering books
Review written by: Carlos X. Rosado From Linden, NJ USA
Very intriguing book that reveals some of the experiences of young engineers in the field. It is a good guidance that takes you by the hand walks you through struggles, and shares some of the common frustration feelings that the engineering carrier exposes you to. It ought to be read by students who are hesitating about studying engineering and recently graduates that do not know what to expect from the field. The book itself is more than a text book and should be considered as an alternative to write engineering books. I really enjoyed trying to solve the mysteries while I was reading.
