Anyone who has been surfing the Internet for more than one year will know about all of the sites in this book. The book is a good idea, but it falls very short.

i think the book is wonderful, I would reccomend this book to my friends and they enjoyed reading the book. They also said they saw thing in the book they thought you could never think you could do on the internet. The bottom line is if you have never been on the internet I reccomend that you buy this book.

I have purchased four of these 300 Incredible books, (Vol. I & II, Racing and Travel) and have found all to be quite useful. The books are more or less a directory that lets you easily and quickly find quality Websites for just about any topic/use you can imagine. Volume I is an excellent, well organized collection of more than 400 good, useful and fun sites. All the garbage routinely found in search engine listings has been left out. I have found literally hundreds of sites that I would have otherwise never found. As for those who feel the book needs to go into more depth on each Website, that's what the link is for. The author of this book (Ken Leebow) understands that he's doesn't need to waste your time telling you all the details about a site when you can visit the site and see it for yourself. What he DOES do is finds only quality sites and tells you what the main idea/purpose of the site is and provides a means by which you can easily look up sites that you'll find interesting and supplies a link. I consider these books to be like my own personal yellow pages to the Internet. I will no doubt buy more!

This book was a huge disappointment, but what should I have expected for less than $9.00? Instead of listing two sites for 300 only sometimes useful categories, the book should have gone even a little bit more in depth on fewer categories. But then they'd have to change the title--it apparently was more important to have 300 categories than a useful book.

Ken Leebow has done what everybody wished, took time to search the net and organize it in a way that is fun, and easy! It offers great sites including educational, productive, and funny! Buy this book, you will not regret it.

The book has a lot of exciting and fun things to do on the internet. I went to websites I didn't even know of and I was on the computer for 4 hours the first night I had the book. I really love it!!!

Why is it that a book with so much potential crashes? Ken Leebow did a good job finding 300 good websites, 50 of which are actually worth going too. Ultimately though this book suffers from a lack of organization that other 300 incredible things to do have. No table of contents, no sub sections, nothing, you could be searching for hours until you find something you want to look at. Plus with search engines that are highly developed these days, what is a book about internet stuff good for?

Also his synopsis of the sites are sometimes wasted, he tries to fit jokes in, most of which are ..., he tries to make a pun, they don't really fit. Also the cartoons aren't that fun either, they may give you a small smile but mostly it's just more wasted space.

Fortunately this book has enough quantity to make it worth buying, but don't be fooled, this book is flawed to the core, really, really, flawed.

My son was given the book as a gift. He thought it was cool. Then he sat down to use it and now he's amazed by the internet. We want all of the other 300incredible books now!!!
