Check out my review at http://backofthebook.ca/2009/11/09/what-would-jesus-do-if-he-were-on-a-website-a... . In brief, the book is based on the experience of the author as a successful web cartoonist. If you don't already have a popular site, this book may not be very useful. That said, if you're a fan of the User Friendly web comic, you might find it interesting to read about the business behind it.

Perhaps we should be grateful that it isn't really about how to make money quick on the web. That seems to involve creating those sites that are nothing but ads. The book gets three stars for what it's not, as well as for being an interesting backstage look at the business of User Friendly.
