Journal:
As the web becomes more accessible, once-timid nontechnical types are using
it to shop for everything including love. Hogan, a relationships adviser for
American Singles
,
stresses the importance of learning about ourselves from the ways we
interact and describe ourselves online.
Through a series of
questions in each chapter, readers perform a self-assessment, which will,
according to the author, help them understand what qualities are important
to them in a potential mate. Unlike some recently published Internet dating
manuals, this book does not offer a list of hot spots and things to say the
first time you "meet." Instead, Hogan addresses the concerns of individuals
seeking mature, long-term relationships. This book is not for beginners, as
the author does not adequately explain Internet terminology or the various
means of Internet courting.
Likewise, veterans may
feel put off by the commonsensical advice and the concentration on
professional dating services. Nevertheless, this title does offer some
useful guidance and can be considered for libraries with Internet-savvy
patrons. Jeanne Larkins, New York
