Description: Amazon Review
Reynard or Ren125733 is having an early-life crisis. His girlfriend has left him and all he has left is a sad life and even sadder screen name. By day a laughable actor; by night a virtual recluse with hours spent hunting female companionship on the World Wide Web. It is only when the rejection becomes too much that he undergoes the virtual sex change to become NuBiFem, the girl whose interests are "Online fun, offline frolics".

Attention from men and women comes flooding in, all wanting to meet the new girl in the chat room, but RoxiNYC is somehow different from the rest. It's not because she is the make-up artist from work whom he can't stop thinking about but because the pair have a special online chemistry that could never work in the flesh. Ren persuades his ex-girlfriend to be NuBiFem's physical presence but the plan backfires when the two become lovers and unfolds a not so much surprising tale but an online Cyrano De Bergerac.

Aside from the difficulty in being romantic on someone else's behalf, Ren discovers the threat of posing as a woman and thus suffers the revenge of the Viagra Snatch Squad, chat room terrorists who've had enough of devious men in their cyberspace. Despite all the romantic notions that love will conquer all, the finale does bring happiness in the most unexpected of ways but gladly doesn't follow the obvious route as it shakes up the classic love story for Internet junkies. --David Trueman
