This is a textbook that does not read like a textbook, which is the best thing anyone could ever say about a textbook.

The writing is entertaining and really well done. The chapters are broken up into sections that follow a pattern so you know what to expect from each one. They are also peppered with examples, stories, cartoons, quizzes, and other fun interludes so that there aren't large amounts of dense, boring text intimidating and boring you.

I really learned so much and it forced me to examine my own ways of communicating and the methods by which I can improve them, as well as recognize and stop poor behaviors before they start to cause a problem.

This textbook is so enjoyable that, instead of trading it back in at the end of the semester for money, I felt it valuable enough to keep as a reference, so I can read it every once in a while to refresh my memory on the areas of communication I still need to work on.

Used this book for my Com 102 class. Loved the book, the chapters are roughly 30 pages long and has interesting content. Uses a lot of day to day examples, good information on cultures and great chapter layout. The one detail I was uninterested in is how the chapters seem to drag along on some subjects.

Do not buy from this seller - ordered item, never received item, wrote to seller 4 times with no reply at all - will never purchase from this buyer again and you should think twice before you do, too.
