Disappointed with spoilers

This book started out really good with the "spirit", Facebook, searching Mother, murderer, etc. It had a lot going for it and the writing was very, very good. I couldn't wait to read more. Then, the spirit left, the mother we don't know what happened to her and the finality of her search, this weird "Star" character that I just couldn't get into, and Oh yeah the murderer was now supposed to be a heroine? I didn't care how confused and screwed up this Janet/Jimmie character was I had no compassion for her, she was a cold-blooded killer. I think the author has great potential and could do much better. Overall the book was a huge disappointment. Won't read another from this author.

Not a proper title...

The story was good, the characters were interesting and I liked the poetic justice at the end. However, I have no idea why the author used this title unless it was just to drum up sales by keeping current. Except for a very little bit of this dealt with Facebook. I guess the initial brothers entry is how death was brought about by Facebook. No matter what it was worth the time I spent reading it and it was a fairly quick read.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're dead

I had several problems with this book, but I think I can sum them all up; the book lacks a coherent plot line. It kind of jerks around like a handheld video of a really exotic vacation that you glimpse only briefly between shots of the ground or the videographer's shoes. The author introduces some characters (like Jimmie's sergeant), only to abandon them, and flings Janet about - from lover to murderer to drunkard to fugitive to friend back to fugitive to lunatic suicide victim pulling a "Thelma-and-Louise" into the vocano crater - with no clear picture of her; no backstory to inform her motivations. Jimmie's mom makes the trip to Hawaii to hunt for him, but it's never clear whether or not she ever got any answers to if he was dead, what happened to him; nothing. Even her story is jumbled up with a rekindled romance that seems to spring to life with no frame of reference. Aaugh! There is too much to say, and I really don't want to be so terribly negative. I think I am upset with this book because I believe, based on hints I saw throughout the book, that this author could have done so much better.

Good, just not what I expected

I thought it was about how Facebook affected the lives of the characters in the story, but the title was a bit misleading. Plus, I had a difficult time enjoying the story.

A good start, but in the end, too much story for one book.

To me, the writer tried to do too much.
