Keep looking.. this is not the book you need..,
By
This review is from: How to Work a Room: Learn the Strategies of Savvy Socializing - For Business and Personal Success (Paperback)
..if you really want to learn how to work a room. The book is written for women who are shy. Even if that describes you, there are better books to read. Most of the book addresses the issues of how to shake hands, how not to wear see-through blouses, and how to avoid having sex at trade shows. Unless these are burning issues for you, you will find nothing of value in this book. I am a professional consultant and attend conferences and networking events several times per month. I bought the book in an airport, read the first half, skimmed the second half and left it on the plane for the next person. It was a waste of an hour and a half and [my money]. Save yourself the time and expense, unless you are a 22 year female college grad in her first sales job who needs instruction on who to flirt without getting in over your head and need to be told that you shouldn't have sex at trade shows.

How to waste money and make this autor rich,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Work a Room: Learn the Strategies of Savvy Socializing - For Business and Personal Success (Paperback)
Book tells you what you should be doing but it doesn't tell you HOW, which is what the author promises to do. I felt this book might be good for people who have absolutely no experience with self help books or self improvement but for anyone else it's just fluff. It provides very few examples. All the material could have been nicely summarized in a pamphlet.

Good topic, poor execution,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Work a Room: A Guide to Successfully Managing the Mingling (Hardcover)
How to work a room. What a great concept for a book. Unfortunately the book barely delivers. While there were a few good suggestions, this book was too basic and offered little except some common sense ideas. The author seemed more at home talking about how women can meet men than the real art of working a room.In summary great title, very poor execution. I would say more but this book offers very little to respond to.
