I'm not a professional reviewer or PR type person.I saw Aliza speak in Montreal recently and she changed my life - I mean it. I read about the book in the newspaper, it was a great review, so I thought I'd check her out in person. I only heard good things word of mouth, too, which made me even more skeptical. I hate hype. But I wasn't the only one who was blown away, totally. She was a very generous person, very funny and real. Not stuck up and not fake in any way. And I read the book in two sittings and learned more from it than anything else I've read about the Internet. I never used computers - ever - but my husband just got one for his business. In 2 days I now know more than he does! (He doesn't believe me of course). I'm a 46 year old woman and I know you don't know me, but this is the truth. I suggest you buy a few books for your friends who aren't online yet - they will be thanking you for it.

I just started an internet-related job. I learned quickly but alot of things got glossed over during training, like terminology, etc. It seemed too late to ask certain questions after I had been there a while. But the Cybergrrl book is such a clear concise explanation of the Internet that I feel totally Net-Savvy now!

There is a female friendly world in cyberspace filled with exciting and interesting women and Aliza Sherman will help you to find and meet them with this concise and readable book. Also use this book to quickly discover and locate women's resources from business advice to health issues on the WWW.

Aliza Sherman, who has always been my "mentor", and one of the most influential women in the Internet industry, provides valuable information and lessons to all women looking to get on-line quickly and easily. I'm thrilled that she has recorded her experiences and expertise in this book, and that so many women will be able to learn from her the way I have. - Alison Berke, bworks.com

We can handle the techie talk, we are not afraid of technolgy. Maybe YOU are. And in that case perhaps you should have stuck to the lame adventures of Cybergrrl on your website, instead of subjecting others through the print medium to your demeaning view of women and technology.

I have not read this book yet, but except for one review, the rest of the reviews read like press releases. I can't imagine that this book is that terrific considering that the word of mouth I've heard hasn't been that great. Can someone provide a balanced review, please, instead of Cybergrrl's friends posting useless accolades here that read just like a PR person wrote them? I don't believe them.
