Aggregate customer ratings lean strongly towards the top of the scale, with most in the five- or four-star categories and a small minority at the lower end. That is a generally favourable signal, but ratings alone do not reveal what readers liked or disliked. The book’s stated focus on NotPetya and cyberwar history may help readers decide whether its subject suits them.
