Some have been critical of the author, but keep in mind, she was only a teenager, and it is told from her perspective. I enjoyed the story, and it is a quick read. This is true life a cautionary tale about the dangers of "meeting" people online. At thirteen, Katherine Tarbox, met "Mark" in an online chat room. Mark claimed to be 23 and seemed to really understand her. They eventually made plans to meet when she discovered that he was actually a 40 year-old. "A Girl's Life Online" describes how Tarbox was like so many teeenagers in her feelings of loneliness and isolation and how a pedophile was able to manipulate those feelings to his own end. It also describes how Tarbox became the first "unnamed minor" to utilize the federal law enacted to protect minors from online predators. As Katie grows apart from her best friend at school and feels increasingly alienated from her family, she seeks comfort online in "Mark", a man who seems to like her for who she really is. Of course, we know how the story will end, but it's interesting to read about what it was like when online predators were still a new phenomenon and people really didn't know how to deal with the situation. Plot: 14 year old chats with older guy on AOL...they meet in person. Pros: Engaging, quick read, no big words, appeals to teens, adults, parents. The mother and stepfather come off as jerks, and I love reading about messed up folks Cons: Ending wasn't enough of a "conclusion" for me, I would've liked to know more and was kind of let down. Other Thoughts: Although the title did catch my eye, it is essentially a lie as no .com figures into the story and the book isn't about a specific web site. The book reads like it was written by a teenager. Granted it was written by a teenager but the writing made me very aware of this fact. While not badly written, the prose is unimpressive.

A los trece anos, Katie era una nina privilegiada. Sus padres tenian una desahogada posicion economica, ella era una alumna aventajada y formaba parte del competitivo equipo de natacion. Pero lo cierto es que Katie estaba sola. Sus padres estaban centrados en el trabajo y su hermana se nabia marchado a la universidad. No resulta casual que Katie buscara compania en los chats de Internet. Con una enorme madurez emocional y narrativa, Katie nos relata su experiencia personal en la red y las consecuencias que tuvo para su vida. Cronica de una generacion, Katie.com nos recuerda que en la red es dificil ver mas alla de lo que nuestra propia subjetividad nos hace creen No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
