I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Firstly, the amazing artwork on the cover of this book leaves no doubt what this book will be about. There is murder, and the internet is used to commit these crimes."Internet Dating - A Stalker's Paradise", is the precise topic of this book. Even the lightest of research, a look at Wikipedia, is revealing. Here's what I found out:" Online dating is big business. How big? ($957 million dollars) It's the third largest revenue producer out of all paid content sites, behind digital music and online gaming, according to Forrester Research Inc." Source: US B2C Online Paid Content: Five-Year Forecast, a 2008 Forrester Research Inc. survey of online adults.In other words, internet dating generates a tremendous amount of money annually. In fact, to be frank, internet dating is bigger than porn.With this bit of background knowledge, we can read this book from an entirely different perspective. On the one hand, this is fiction, it's not real.On the other hand, this is no fiction. It is real. Check the newspapers and the daily news. Fiction and reality blur their boundaries. Which leads me to my recommendation: buy this book, because it will make you think. Any thinking you do before you or someone you know is in a compromised position will be to your personal benefit. Buy this book.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofStory Tellers: In Pursuit of Happiness
