Book's content was not what was expected
This book (I should say long brochure), really was not worth the money. Didn't tell you anything you didn't already know.

Purchase the book for someone with minimal computer skills, and they were really disappointed.

I used this book for a computer camp and it was great!
Lots of neat ideas that kids can use with all different types of software such as word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and multimedia! The kids really enjoyed the activites and learned a lot! If you are looking new and exciting activites then you've come to the right place! ... Read more

Great book!
This book is definitly one of my fav's!!!! Okay It's about Morgan Cross and how she is obsessed with the internet, just when she thinks everything is good with two friends she met on the internet she realizes that she has put one of them in life threating danger. The other one is more than she appears.
This is a really great book and it reminds all of us that we all must not always realie on our selves for everything but on God and never to underestimate how much damage you can do to someone with one chat on the web.
Hope u read the book!

I'm Another Chat Freak!
I liked this book because I can really relate to Morgan. In this book, Morgan, a freshman (like me) is really obsessed with the internet. She's always on, and so am I. That is how we are a lot alike. If you liked the other Todaysgirls.com books just as much as I did, then you'll like this book too. I only gave it 4 stars because it isn't my favorite in the series. ... Read more

This is the Worst Book Ever
O my gosh I hated this book. We had to read it for literarry circles at school. It was about a dorky kid named Yip and he created a virtually perfect guy simulation who is supposed to be hot but he is actually hitious and Paige, Yip's sister starts falling in love with him which is so gross because she thinks he is hot when he is really hyteous. The other peope in my group hated it too. What a surprise. Maybe Dan Gutman should take up golf instead of writing. Here was our review... Yip is a twelve-year- old boy who is obsessed with building things. When his dad brings home a computer program that mades the perfect human/ actor he is compelled tho make a friend he never had. Victor the virtuall person gets pulled ou tof cyberspace he is perfect at everything but are there any glitches? Well that remains to b seen.

Awsome story line!
I found this book a great book for all ages, I read this book, im 13 and i enjoyed it, some parts were a little childish but i found it to be an all around good book. Also i got my younger sister, Kelly, to read it, shes 10. She also enjoyed the book and read it with much enthousiasm.

A must read book- dan gutmans masterpiece
In this thrilling tale, 12 year old Yip uses his dad's computer to create a virtual human named Victor. However, Yip has other things in mind beside being Yip's friend... read to find out in this excellent story!

Interesting
I liked this book. It is about a kid named Yip who creates a virtual charector on his dads software with the help of his sister. This virtual kid, whom Yip and Page Victor, is very smart and (thanks to Paige) good-looking. Victor can talk, see through the screen, and hear. Because he is so smart, Victor figures out how to get out of the computer into the real world with Yip's help. (not a good idea, on Yip's part) It seemed that Victor is perfect. But thanks to Paige, he has no conscience. (Paige deleted some books on right and wrong to make room for his good looks)What will he do, released in the real world?

Dont read this book!!!!...

Snail Mail No More
The book "Snail Mail No More" is a wonderful book. The protaginists are named TaraStar and Elizabeth. They are both 13 years old and best friends but TaraStar lives in Ohio and Elizabeth lives in New Jersey.Their goal is to make their friendship last. Their barrier is that their own conflicts may get in the way between the two of them. One conflict is that Elizabeth's father left her and her family or another on is that TaraStar's mother had a baby. Their lives are changing and it's hard for them to keep a long lasting friendship.
The author's style of writing is very interesting because it's all in e-mails. I really liked how the author did that because it makes the book fun to read and is not like anyother regular book.
I really liked this book and I could read it as many times and it still wouldn't be boring to me. It's honest about things that happen and things that might happen to anybody. It has humor and it is also sad. I loved it and is a great book.

Differences
Snail Mail no More is about two young teens, Tara Starr Lane and Elizabeth who are separated when one of them moves to Ohio. They were the best of friends and it was terribly sad for the both of them. In Danziger's first book in this series, P.S Longer Letter Later, the two friends must keep contact with each other by using snail mail(regular mail). But in this book their families purchase computers so they can keep contact in e-mails! Tara Starr Lane is incredibly outgoing and energetic, and loves sparkly clothes and jewels and Elizabeth likes to keep to herself and pays no attention to clothes. They are so totally different, but somehow they manage to remain friends. Read a book full of funny e'mails sad e's and regular e's. I think you'll enjoy this book!

An instant favorite
right when i finished the first page i knew that i would love this book. I have read it 5 times and every time it never gets old. I think of it as a book that covers common teen troubles. If you need a book to read PICK THIS UP NOW!

Review for Snail Mail No More
Best friends Elizabeth and Tara*Starr have just moved far apart from each other. Tara*Starr accessorizes and loves to be in the spotlight. Elizabeth loves writing poetry and reading, and hates being noticed. After both of them receive the ability to e-mail, staying in touch is easier than ever! Both girls' lives are changing and not being able to be with each other doesn't help. Tara's mother has a baby and Elizabeth's father walks out on her family.
This book has an unforgettable tale that is hard to forget. The story really puts friendship to the test. It's very interesting to see how jealousy, dating, personal problems, siblings, and death can get in the way of friendship. It is also very fascinating to see how all these problems are resolved and how you can apply them to everyday life. I really enjoyed this story and I would recommend it to anyone who asked.

The book that had supense!
I loved this book so much because it never let you dry for suspense. I was always wanting to read more and more. I couldn't stop. This book had a fantastic main charcters that seemed like I could meet them down the street. I love these books and I have already read a couple of the "Danger.com". Each story almost seemed to almost happen on the internet. The charters in this book made a mistake to tell online that he wanted illegal cigars. This is why it left me in suspense because I never knew what was going to happen to them.

Danger.NET
This was a sequal to Shadow man. This is a MUST have if you have read that one. It takes you on differnt twists and turns, but it always leads you back one way or another. If you like the internet, you'll love this! ... Read more

Good Book is Written Nicely in E-mails
The book Sarah's Page is a good, easy read. The plot is simple and good. The plot is not wonderful, but good and interesting. One factor that made this book an enjoyable read was that it was written all in e-mails. It wasa different way of writting and I really liked that. For those of you wholiked the book P.S. Longer Letter Later and/or the book Snail Mail No More,I think you would like this book. The characters in this book wre verybelievable. The bookwas quite detailed and added a lot of description,which was a nice aspect. The setting played an important role in the plot,for in the book the main character is this girl named Sarah who is from NewYork and is from a wealthy family has to live on a rustic farm and dochores. The reason why I gave this book a four star rating instead of fivewas because at times this book seemed to drag on a little, and got off thepoint. Overall, this book was pretty good. I think it is probably worth aread. I liked the writing style and characters best. I think girls ages 9,10, or 11 would really enjoy this book. This is a good book.

A Definat Page-Turner
Sarah's Page is a wonderful book!The characters have real personality, they're not dull.You discover the story as she e-mails her best friend in New York.She's stuck on a farm with her sister and her sister's husband. Life gets tough, but Sarah is tough to.

Something Very Special
Originally I bought this book for my niece who is a Michigander.The weekend it arrived from Amazon, she was off with her parents to a wedding for the weekend.It didn't take her long to read the entire story. Thisweekend she lent it to me.One day.That's all it took.I couldn't putSarah's Page down.Not only is it a clever idea, but the story iscompelling.Sarah is your best friend or the one you wish you had. (BTW Iam 53 years old ;) )

A must read book
Thsi book is really good. I have something in comman with the author she went to the same school that I am at now. This book relates to people today. Its a great book for girls who like to surfthe web. I wouldreccomend thisbook to everyone.

Good, But Not Great
This was a pretty good book, but it wasn't as good as the other Todaysgirls.com books I have read. I recommend it, though, especially to you other Todaysgirls.com fans! :)

Ausome!
I just couldn't put this book down! Jami's personality was SO real! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, wondering if she would win the art contest! I can't wait to read the other books in this series! This book rocks! ... Read more
