At first, I thought that He Mail/She Mail would be about the conflicts between the genders, but I was very wrong. Instead, it is a delightful and insightful book about the benefits of "anonymous" communication on the Internet where feelings and thoughts can be stated and expressed w/o anxiety.

A terrific and entertaining book for when you are in the mood for "light" reading. The ultimate book for reading by the pool.

I received this book as a gift from an employee for Christmas this year. It arrived two days before the holiday and I'd finished it by Christmas night. I had a really hard time putting it down. I find myself wondering if the two writers still converse, if they've ever met in real life, and if they plan to do more together. It was like eavesdropping with permission, or having a terrific dinner conversation with two old friends. I loved the book and love the fact that the money from its purchase went to charity.

The authors of delightful dialogue have captured the spirit of late night conversations with old or new found friends. The slightly irreverent tone of some of the discussion is just the kind of atmosphere that adds to a sense of spontaneity. As a Christian pastor I found the religious sensibilities of the authors a bit unconventional, but refreshing. Grant and Olinger reflect a concern for the real issues of faith while avoiding the trap of doctrinal boredom. He Mail/She Mail is an invitation to laughter and an invitation to a gathering of friends. Thanks for the fun.

A book that is based on conversations on E-Mail between a man and a woman. I thought that this would be the usual man vs. woman; sexist vs. feminist...WRONG! This witty and refreshing book is totally unique. I became engrossed and fascinated by both Elliot and Raven. It is really the story of two people who are openly sharing their very different backrounds with each other, through their entertaining anecdotes of family and childhood. It was impossible to put down.

A series of e-mail messages between two friends, comparing life, thoughts and a new theory of gravity.

Grant and Olinger write beautifully. They play off of one another in a way that is sparklingly easy and fun to read. It was a great deal like reading the transcript from a good comedy in some sections. I liked the book very much and felt as though I was saying goodbye to two new friends I'd grown very fond of when it ended. WRITE US A SEQUEL GUYS!
