The internet incident

Book review

The book "Internet incident", by Ian Probert, is a great book. It is an in-depth, fast-paced novel about computer hacking. If you're into that sort of thing, then you'll love this book. The main character in the book was at the home of his friend, Karl. Karl shows the boy (who remained unnamed throughout the book) the Internet. The boy was fascinated. However, the boy's interest was defeated when he found out that the man was spying. He quickly ran out. This isn't the most impossible book to read, topping

out at under one hundred pages, but it is a good one.

Chapter 1

At the beginning of the book, the writer puts you in the eyes of the character and makes you feel as you were there and makes you want keep reading “I ran .I ran as fast as my legs could carry me.”(Page 1 ) this is a fine way to start, you really want to find out why and who is running.

The writer does a great job when describing the atmosphere “the icy winter burned my face” (line 5) as the story keeps on going we are introduced with new characters at first we get Karl Muller which the boy starts to remember of “and could still see the terrified eyes of poor, harmless Karl Muller” and we don’t hear from Karl Muller until later .

Then we find out that the beginning was not actually the beginning .The story it self is very enjoyable as it contains lots of fictional and non fictional information set in Germany in the mid-80's and however by now the information  it’s out of date.

When the boy starts to think back, we know he is telling the story from his point of view and puts us in his position. That’s why we don’t hear his name throughout the book.

Join now!

The whole story is based on the consequences of on day “Hey, kid! Want to make some money ?” at this point lots of thoughts come crashing in to our mind like you imagine some sort of deep voice talking to  the boy which in fact is Karl Muller we are told that the boy is in café

Then he is offered some money so his wondering how much he will get and a man who was sitting on his table before, tells him not to take less than 20 marks.

He has never seen Karl Muller ...
