Purchase this title at B&N

It was alright, but not quite my cup of tea. I thought it was the male equivalent of Bridget Jones's Diary, with lots and lots of computer lingo. The coding stuff got a bit heavy, but probably would be fine for someone in the business. Tons of American pop culture - most of which were familiar to me. Nicely written, but lacking somehow. I don't feel like I learned much, but I was interested in the story. How's that for a mixed review?
