It's a decent summary of what has happened up to the point that the book was completed. I do wish there was more written about the circumstances and the journalists as they pieced it together. More info about the beginning would've been nice for example. It's a bit barebones but it's still a very interesting read.

Articles from the Guardian presenting the whole story of the phone hacking scandal. Lots of detail as to the background of the investigative reporting and the timeline.
