Of the 3 of Hoffman's books I've agreed to read this year, this was by far the worst - and I hated the other 2 so that's saying something.
In this book, not only did I have to deal with his annoying style of writing and poor grasp of vocabulary, I also got to read some extremely terrible advice. This book was written to help those on the 'underground'. It started with not-so-terrible advice for those dodging the draft and generally on the run.
It then went on to give wonderful advice on making bombs. It also had information on the best way to cut and beat up cops as well as completely pointless shit about vandalizing things. For example, he gave the recipe to make an epoxy to ruin various locks and credit card machines. Not that I think it's ever okay to do that, but it wasn't as though he was suggesting targeting financial institutions to 'bring the man down', which is supposed to be the point of his struggle and this book. Instead, he seems content to create random chaos for the lulz.
I have been known to support the violent overthrowing of governments. I do not support idiots running around creating trouble because they're bored.
I will be so glad when I'm done reading his shit.
