After all - one book on the theme with content,
By T. Struszka "onart.com - for artists and art... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Second Lives: A Journey Through Virtual Worlds (Hardcover)
There are tons of books about virtual worlds, especially about second life. All of the ones I have seen (before this one) were more or less instructionbooks for people who don't have a mind of their own to click around in a virtual environment and collect some basic information, or artefacts of self celebration of residing avatars.
This one is nothing like that. Guest focusses on his personal research and experience in these environments, for the biggest part in secondlife.com . He gives us an interesting and sometimes even touching account of the fact, that these worlds are populated by real humans and not by game characters. Even for me as a long year (but not veteran) player of this environment, the book had an enormous amount of new and fascinating facts on the history of SL, that usually would not get published, since Guest partly approached it from the underground and not from the shiny surface. I regrett I never met him there... 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

Great book on virtual worlds and the people that use them!,
By B. Ford - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Second Lives: A Journey Through Virtual Worlds (Hardcover)
I couldn't believe that there was only 1 review on Amazon.com for this book. If anyone is interested in virtual worlds or people that play/use them, I highly recommend this book. It covers the stories of the author and others' experiences with Everquest, Second Life, and more. The author covers everything from virtual gangsters in The Sims Online to gender role-swapping in Second Life.
I had been searching for a great book on virtual worlds after reading The Making of Second Life: Notes from the New World and I had been hesitant to purchase this book due to the lack of reviews. Well, I'm glad I bit the bullet and got a copy.

Highly Recommend!,
By Debby Hennenberg "love2read" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Second Lives: A Journey Through Virtual Worlds (Hardcover)
Second Lives explains the complexities of virtual worlds and examines the users behind them. Guest's thoughtful memoir is well written, illuminating and timely.
