The truly scary thing about undiscovered lies is that they have a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones. When people cheat in any arena, they diminish themselves-they threaten their own self-esteem and their relationships with others by undermining the trust they have in their ability to succeed and in their ability to be true. Cheating is the most disrespectful thing one human being can do to another. If you aren’t happy in a relationship, end it before starting another one. Those who cheat on their partners who are loyal to them; don’t deserve them. It is a trashy attitude to disrespect a person who is loyal in a relationship, by cheating on him or her. If you succeed in cheating someone, don’t think that the person is a fool realize that the person trusted you much, more than you deserve. If you noticed any suspicious act on your partner if he or she is cheating. You need to write to them to help you remotely spoof on the target phone to retrieve text messages, call logs, social media activities, bank information and many more. They deliver best services and get you the peace of mind you deserve as my experience with them reveals everything that have been hidden for years. Email:HACKERTECHS001 @ GMAIL COM

Spyware is a very fun book and is for those that like action. There is a little bit of a tech side to it, but not enough that it would stifle the enjoyment for those that aren't into that world. The book follows a professor who is accused of releasing the worst computer virus the world has ever seen and whose son is kidnapped on the same day. Now he is a wanted man and he is also searching; the hunted and the hunter. Unlike most books with similar theme, this one doesn't get into the realm of disbelief where a regular guy can all of a sudden do super things. Rather, when he gets hit in the head he goes down. He has never fired a gun before, he is nervous and doesn't have accuracy. He is still a real man.
Spyware is a fairly simple book and a breeze to get through. It starts off a little bit slow to introduce the characters and scenario, but one the action starts it keeps going until the end. While it is semi-predictable where things are heading, there are of course a few twists to throw the reader in a different direction. Nothing groundbreaking in this book, just a fun action book that you can read without thinking too much. I recommend this to anyone that is into the "chased while trying to solve the crime" type of novel.

I like B.V. Larson’s works. I picked this one up because I like his style and have enjoyed his other works. This one did not disappoint but could have benefited from another proof reading pass and Ill try to review it without spoilers. There were a dozen or so instances I had to reread a sentence or paragraph because a few words were left out. There were also several punctuation errors that stood out. A few of the technical items are dated. Message boards don’t require dialing into anymore, not since the BBS went offline.
The downside out of the way, I enjoyed this book, and finished it in two days. The pacing was good, the characters were sharp, and the story moved. You could really feel the clock ticking down and you always wondered if the characters could fix the problem before time ran out. The mix of characters, from drifter, to cop, to college professor was well written. The mix of motives and the final reason for launching the whole plot was nothing like I was imagining based on the early characters you met.
This is worth your time to read and written with a pace and tone that draws you in. Once in, the story moves at just the right pace to keep your interest peaked with a desire to know how it turns out in the end.

This book started out with potential. it had a nice cover. It even had a good synopsis - but that's about where the goodness ended.
The author seemed to delight in making up words: "crumped" for instance, appeared 4 times. Furthermore, although a lot of the computer material was accurate, Larson seems happy to drop great clangers to suit his story. For example, a duo of elite hackers are able to bypass a BIOS password by shorting the CMOS battery, but struggle to unpack a password-protected Zip file they have complete file system access to.
The story makes large of a countdown, starting at a hundred hours and decreasing throughout the novel. One might expect the heros to foil the plot just in the nick of time, or else for the countdown to reach its end and to have devistating results. One paragraph dedicated to the aftermath of the countdown from a novel this size is not really much to write home about and made the entire book pretty much pointless.
And then there's the way the book just ends, one action-packed scene of tension and drama which you expect to lead to a great, exciting ... nothingness. Oh, well. Plenty more fish in the sea.

Spyware was one of those books I bought when I was bored and because the price was right. To be honest, I really wasn't expecting a whole lot from a $4.99 ebook from someone I'd never heard of. Thankfully, I was totally wrong!
Spyware grabs you by the throat in the first few pages and doesn't let you go until the very last page. It's a thrill ride where murder, intrigue, get backs, and technology all come together in a delicious serving of near perfection. Definitely a must read for any techno thriller lover out there.

Eh. Overall, the book was O.K. The first half was actually really good, but then the author rushed through the ending, and left things hanging. I bet that there's a sequel to follow... There'd better be, with an ending like that!
