Summary: A bit outdated
Comment: The problem is not, but the book is a outdated about the internet access fee. The terrible story about people spending $800 a month for internet access and get into financial trouble, no longer exist today since we are no longer charged by minutes (which makes it easier to get addicted).

Besides, I don't think controlling the online minutes is a good solution for chatroom / message board addiction. Just like quitting cigarattes or recovering from alcoholism, the only way is to cut off completely.

Now the good things: The existence of this book alone would help. The first step to recover is the simple acknowledge that Internet addiction is a real problem and how destructive it would be. The examples used in the book make you realize you are not alone in this problem.

Summary: This book was so-so
Comment: This was a pretty good book overall. It gave insight into the world of internet addiction in general. I was hoping there would be more information on internet "sexual" addiction, such as cybersex and pornography. I think it could have had a better recovery plan, i.e. twelve step system for "Netaholics", etc.

Summary: It helped me A LOT!
Comment: I use to use the computer since 1997. I use to be on it 40+ hours a week. Now I use it about 5 hours also, sometimes way much less. The book showed me the problem is real. And my family was right, I did have a problem with using the internet too much!
It was scary reading the book and saw I had a big problem.

It helped me so much to open my eyes...
