To make it clear， I love codes and ciphers。 The author has taken a tour of various systems， pointing out strengths and weak points， and suggestions on breaking them。 There are sample cryptograms to try to solve。 However， what makes the book so interesting is the large number of real-life cryptograms that we see。 This includes relatively well-known ones like the Zodiac ciphers （from a serial killer） or the Kryptos problems on sculpture outside the National Security Agency headquarters， and unknow To make it clear， I love codes and ciphers。 The author has taken a tour of various systems， pointing out strengths and weak points， and suggestions on breaking them。 There are sample cryptograms to try to solve。 However， what makes the book so interesting is the large number of real-life cryptograms that we see。 This includes relatively well-known ones like the Zodiac ciphers （from a serial killer） or the Kryptos problems on sculpture outside the National Security Agency headquarters， and unknown ones that cropped up on a wide-ranging German blog。 Some are solved， and some are not。If the book had been delayed a little longer， it would have presented the Zodiac ciphers differently。 In the time between when the authors were finished with it and when it reached the public， the author， along with blogger Klaus Schmeh， solved the second Zodiac cipher。 。。。more

Enjoyable read！ This is a book I plan to go back to and try the challenges when I have a clear head and some quiet time so I can do some of the challenges。
