"Hilarious...an absolute must" The Big Issue "Great fun...If you enjoy laughing at other people's expense (and who doesn't?) this book makes the perfect read." Attitude "A great piece of holiday reading." PC Pro "Includes a set of rules to avoid an email disaster of your own" Sunday Post
Product Description
Email is convenient but highly dangerous. With an ill-considered click of the mouse, you can humiliate yourself in front of millions, lose your job or even end up in court. "Great Email Disasters" brings together over 100 of the funniest, scariest and weirdest stories of inbox ignominy. Meet the sheepish stars of the world wide web. These stories will make your toes curl!These stories discuss: the man who emailed a woman he met at a party, telling her: 'This is the part where I throw caution to the wind...Your smile is the freshest of my special memories' - and then sat back in horror as his email was circulated round the world; the vengeful wife who mailed 50 of her husband's most important work contacts from his email address, telling them: 'I've got an extremely small penis that couldn't excite a woman's nostril, let alone anything else'; the numerous couples whose intimate email chats were leaked and read by millions.It also discuss: Jo Moore, the government spin doctor who hit the headlines for her 'good day to bury bad news' e-mail on September 11, 2001. The ex-employee who thought he'd got revenge by wrecking his former company's computer system with a bombardment of emails - but was discovered and ended up in court; the Pentagon officer who accidentally included a Devon schoolgirl on an email list that discussed top-secret matters; the marketing man who wrote an email mocking his employer - and sent the message straight to his boss, plus numerous blogging buffoons, fax failures, terrible telephone calls and so much more...

.......I should have read the product description more carefully. An earlier reviewer above, Mr C Wemyss, said that he, as indeed I did, thought that the book would contain more or less only a series of emails that for varied reasons were a bit of a disaster or funny etc. and not mostly narrative surrounding the sending of the emails.
I was, therefore unprepared for the books format, as it was not what I was expecting nor particularly wanted, and consequently couldn't really get past the first few chapters. I enjoy collections of wit, jokes, quotes etc but unadorned with too much supplemental commentary. Shallow minded you may ask? Probably, but not my cup of tea!

I bought the book because it was a good, light-hearted present and ended up reading it myself on the train home, so I had to go out and buy another one. It does what it says on the cover, it's a great little read and then it's really fun to regale other people with the stories in it afterwards.

I went with this book because the topic does sound very funny and the reviews where very good but i just didnt like this one bit in fact it was a very boring book to read. You dont get to read the actual e-mails sent you just get the long winded version of events.
If you want a funny internet book i would recommend e-luv.

Great loo book!
Bought this as a stocking filler for my husband. It's quite funny and a good 'pick up and put down book'.

I laughed so much
It's the kind of book you read in one sitting, one laugh after another and it really is one of the funniest books I've ever read. Some people should never use e-mail. hahaha
