Interknot : Adventures in Internet dating

Rating:
Summary: Hysterically funny, but very touching!
Review: I read this book almost in one sitting because I couldn't put it down! Whether you are dating now, in a relationship, or married, there are stories in this book that will make you laugh at loud at the ridiculous situations we sometimes find ourselves in. I found myself rooting for the men and women profiled in this book, trying to find love on the Internet...and feeling their pain when they failed (miserably...but I laughed anyway!!!) and their joy when they DID find "the one." A painfully honest, laugh until you cry, sexy look at the lives of those looking for love (on the Internet and beyond). You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Good idea, painfully bad execution
Review: I'm always interested to read about internet dating...sadly, this book is both poorly edited and repetitive, with a comically self-absorbed narrator. In addition, the long passages cut and pasted from actual emails (written both by the narrator and by his dates) do not constitute "writing" by any stretch of the imagination. The book is also very graphic at times - and not in a good, sexy way either. Ouch.
