review 1: If this was fiction, I would scream bloody genius. If this was a hundred percent truth also, but I'd worship McAfee instead of worshipping Joshua Davis. Reality though it somewhere in between. I am ready to believe that John McAfee has crumbled upon the weight of his own fortune and power, but some of these chapters are so over-the-top, it's hard to believe McAfee would ever have come out alive. You can't live this life at that age and walk away unscathed every time.There is a crazy, broken down millionnaire, but there is also an ambitious writer, looking to create a legend (and succeeding). I took it with a grain of salt and was thoroughly entertained. As pulp fiction, this is absolute genius. If Joshua Davis is looking to make big bucks, he should let his imagination run... more wild and write a full-blown John McAfee novel...and call it a novel. Because he's great at it.
review 2: As someone who has followed this case for around a month now, I found Joshua Davis' "Wired" single to be the best source of information regarding John's background and his history in Belize.I have been following the story of John's run from the Belizian government since it was first reported that he was wanted for questioning in the murder of his neighbor. The story was full of anecdotes about his eccentric millionaire drug fiend's run form the law... and all of it seemed just crazy enough to be true.I've read the news stories, I've read McAfee's blog daily, and I've listened to his interviews. Everything he claims is here, but in a much more organized, cohesive fashion. A lot of the details and background information missing from McAfee's statements are present here.In recent weeks, McAfee has made his disdain for author Joshua Davis clear. It's not, however, because he wrote a story full of lies. McAfee himself has repeated some of the most outrageous stories here. It's because he was led to believe that Davis was writing a story about corruption in the Belizian government and not a "personality" story about McAfee. After meeting the man, I can't imagine how it could have been anything else. less
