Amazon.com Review
This is simply the best book about online relationships that has been written thus far. Not only do you get sage advice from people who have experienced the ups and downs of such a romance, but their experiences and stories are also included. The authors never blink when relating the cautionary tales about how online relationships can go wrong, but they do so with balance and thoughtfulness. You won't find any of the sensationalism that usually accompanies this subject despite the unfortunate title. More than that, this book is compelling and beautifully written. If you've loved someone you met online, even if you loved and lost, you'll recognize yourself on these pages.
Product Description
This book goes straight to the heart of what makes online romances click and shows readers everything they need to know to find their soul mate in cyberspace. From the nuts and bolts of getting online to real stories of love and heartbreak on the information superhighway, this is a user's manual for people who want to cruise the Web for romance.

 Outdated, but with interesting stories May 11, 1999
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
This book has quite a few interesting stories, but as time has passed it has become less useful in practical terms. I think the authors were a bit behind even when the book was published in 1996 (they talk about BBS's and Genie and AOL, with barely any mention of the web). The internet changes so quickly, any book would probably be quickly outdated.
 Hold onto *this* book as you type your steamy chat... June 15, 1998

This is probably the most useful, most practical guide to online love, dating, and yes, over-the-'net sexual encounters. It's an even-handed, practical and commonsense guide to flirtation, love, and cybersex over the 'net--but it's not an alarmist approach, rather just a safe and sensible caution. This won't be the number-one book for those into voyeuristic thrills and saucy, erotic stories... but for anyone who finds the idea of online love intriguing but a bit daunting, challenging or scary, you definitely need to check out a copy of this book first. (Just be careful; you probably don't want to be reading this on the subway!) : )
