Summary: Outstanding!
Review: Highly efficient writing. The author crams a wide range of topics into a small and very readable book. Also manages to cover more than just the basics. Very well organized; it is easy to find the material you are looking for. It is the book you want as the first you buy on this subject. Can be used both as a reference and as a text.

Summary: Top of my List
Review: I bought Internet for Dummies first, at least as far as the Internet is concerned, I really am one; second, it was highly recommended by my server when I signed up.I expected to use it as a reference work, and still have that expectation, but I was surprised (I don't know why; too many over regimented do-it books I suppose), but I found it eminently readable - so I read it. All of it. Interesting. Informative. Entertaining. Educational. In my view, it should be required reading for every tyro cybernaut Great job RPVP

Summary: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
Review: I have several dummies books, from how to build a PC to CCNA. I had to read this rediculous book when I worked for a very well known DSL provider on the East Coast. This book was trivial, assumes that you are completely mindless and plugs certain products and services shamelessly. Yes, I agree, Hot Bot is a pretty good search engine...but it is not the only one out there. This book has technical incosistansies throughout and is basically a really really long advertisement. Easily the worst dummies book in print, and Im not being a jerk, I love dummies books, Ron Gilster rocks, but this is absolute crap. You can honestly get more informed with a magazine.

Summary: You never answer a question or problem completely.
Review: I keep getting knocked off the web or my computer (compact Presario4540) will freeze up while I am on line. I cannot get an answer as to why and I have searched your book from cover to cover. AOL on line cannot help either. They told me to empty my temporary internet files - OK -- HOW? This information is not covered in your book either. Help.

Summary: More useful for a newbie
Review: I love the "Dummy" books, although I think they are a bit overpriced. Maybe I was a dummy, but I purchased this book after being on the internet for over a year. I guess I was hoping to learn things I had no prior knowledge about. For me, this book basically contained info I already knew. Don't be a dummy like me. Purchase this book while you are a newbie, otherwise you will be wishing you had better spent your money.
