Summary: Cheers for Evan Katz from Someone Who Knows
Review: I'm a CyberRomance Coach, so I try to keep up with the books that are coming out about Internet Dating. I had four come in the mail from Amazon this week. I was not very optimistic about the quality of the four, since most of what is getting printed is pretty bad - very thin on the information department, usually just a rehash of what has already been printed, and poorly written as well.Imagine my surprise and delight at Evan Marc Katz's "I Can't Believe I'm Buying This Book: A Commonsense Guide to Successful Internet Dating"! My pencil was flying as I underlined Katz's unique points on page after page. I found new stuff in every chapter. This guy knows what he is talking about. Katz used to be the customer consultant at AmericanSingles and JDate. And it sounds as if he has been at times certifiable as an Internet Dating Junkie. He knows the big dating sites and he knows about profiles - Wow! Does he know profiles! Katz gives the best profile advice I have seen, short of what I do myself. Plus he's funny and writes reasonably well. Katz has a couple of weak spots - he's young (the cover says he's 31) and while he has been an energetic Online dater, he has yet to meet the love of his life, online or otherwise - though he did fall in love for the first time. He really hasn't got much to add for the over 50 crowd, a huge segment of CyberDaters, other than the good advice he gives for your online presentation and for dating in general. Katz's book is clearly "A Commonsense Guide to Successful Internet Dating" - it's about dating, not necessarily about finding the love of your life. He's great at that, the hands down expert, as far as I am concerned. Katz's answer to everyone's question "Does Internet dating work?" is a clear and unqualified "Yes!" But if you want assurance that you will find the love of your life via the Internet, you will not find it here. Katz also asserts that he founded the first online dating consulting service E-Cyrano in 2003. He and I need to talk, since I have been online as a CyberRomance coach since 2002. But let's not split hairs - Katz has written a GREAT Internet dating book, and it's going to the top of my Amazon Listmania recommendations. Congratulations, Evan! And I am not even going to tell you the names of those other books.

Summary: Want to take control of your love life? BUY THIS BOOK!
Review: I've been dating online (and having fun!) for a few years already, so I picked up this book to get some extra tips and to enjoy some funny stories. I was surprised to discover that Katz's book is actually fantastic! Lots of helpful pointers and an entertaining read for newcomers and veterans. Sitting down with this book feels just like sitting down with your best friend and dishing all night long. There are millions of great people online just waiting to hear from you, so let this book help you find a great first date (or your soul mate)!

Summary: 40 Million Single Americans Are Doing It
Review: It's a jungle out there, and Katz keeps you on the trail and out of the bushes where the snakes and scorpions lie. For females over 40, though, there are vines waiting to trip you. See how two "mature" women dealt with it -- and won -- in "Cooking for Love."

Summary: Started off as a joke...
Review: One of my friends got me this book as a joke for my birthday because I complain so much about never meeting quality men when I go out. I ended up reading it because I was bored and had nothing else to do (likely due to my lack of man), and I have to say, this book may be one of the best gifts I've ever received!
Not only does this book give tips and pointers on how to present yourself and meet people online, but it's also very inspirational and gives you hope that you can actually find Mr. Right out there.
When I finished the book, I was so pumped about meeting someone that I immediately went online and signed up with this dating site called catch27.com. It only took about three days, but I ended up meeting the most wonderful man who just happened to live only about five blocks away from me. We've been together now for four months, and the relationship is as strong as ever. I don't think I would have ever met him if I hadn't given online dating a shot, and I wouldn't have given it a shot without this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to meet a great man, whether or not you've ever considered finding someone online!

Summary: Great book for internet romeos...
Review: This book is a Godsend. I had been online dating the past year or so and though I've met a few people, I haven't been able click with that special someone. Then I read about this book in Time magazine and decided to give it a try. What I got was a highly informative and knowledgeable book written in a wry, humorous style that actually got me excited about the whole online dating experience again. You actually get the impression that Katz has been in the trenches before and knows exactly what he is talking about. Some of his sections are so hilarious that I had to stop because I was laughing so hard while nodding my head in total agreement. By taking some of Katz's suggestions to heart, I've managed to attract some pretty interesting women. For instance, by creating a noticeable headline, a detailed profile, and adding a couple of pictures that show all sides of your personality, my responses have doubled than what it was before. This book is a must-have for beginners and more experienced online daters.
