Review
This simple no-fuss, no-frills guide comes cleverly sized, making it easy to use. It is no bigger than a framed CD-ROM, and indeed includes a CD-ROM, enabling you to visit the sites reviewed in the book (note that Apple Mac users can't benefit from this perk).
The straightforward presentation, combined with the absence of colour and visuals, doesn't make this the most stimulating of books to browse. Nevertheless it's packed with information with over 100 health Web sites reviewed, each assessed for information, updating, navigation, readability, content and speed.
Usefully divided into subject matter, the nine chapters include general medical sites, complementary medicine, men's health, women's health, and special diets. Web sites within each chapter are alphabetically listed, which is certainly logical, but frustrating if all you are after is the best sites. Turning to the index at the back of the book at least helps you narrow down the most relevant sites, and skipping to the final paragraph provides the overview one needs. This is likely to appeal to the older reader who is getting to grips with the net and needs reassuring advice, rather than young people for whom surfing and searching is part of the fun. --Lorna V.
From the Publisher
Good news for Apple Mac users
As a dedicated Mac user myself, I just wanted to qualify the suggestion in the synopsis that the book doesn't work for Apple Mac users. Although the disc contained in the book won't work, you can still obtain free ISP from Lineone (there is a phone number given in the book about how to obtain this), and you can still register your book to receive the online updates by going directly to the website and registering. So although it isn't quite as simple as using the disc, you get all the benefits anyway.
