2.0 out of 5 stars
English book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making the Best Man's Speech: Know What To Say and When To Say It - Add Wit, Sparkle and Humour - Deliver The Perfect Speech (Essentials Series) (Paperback)
Maybe the advice in this book is helpful in England, where the best man speech apparently is a very different custom, but most Americans following this advice would make fools of themselves. Mr. Bowden wants to make the best man a stand-up comic, which few people can successfully pull off. Moreover, the suggested jabs at the groom and sexual innuendo are entirely inappropriate at most weddings where older relatives are present. The three model speeches at the back of the book will make you cringe. Probably not a bad book if you have that famous English wit and will be giving the speech in the UK. But the book will be disappointing to most Americans who hope mostly to honor their friends, bring a tear to a few eyes, not come off as a jerk, and get to the bar as soon as possible.

Average Book for a Best Man Speech,
By "danab10" (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making the Best Man's Speech: Know What To Say and When To Say It - Add Wit, Sparkle and Humour - Deliver The Perfect Speech (Essentials Series) (Paperback)
In an attempt to make a good Best Man's speech, I purchased this book to find some good phrases/jokes to add in to my speech. There were a few good phrases I found out of the ones provided, but only about 20% of them were any good. There was a lot of British type humor I didn't find funny, and some were pretty raunchy. This book does cover content, timing, length, and other things I didn't realize about making a good speech. It is a good starter book to get you on track to a really good speech.
