This is an awesome book for kids going off to college. The books interactive approach to teaching about communication skills draws the reader into the book, making learning about the various nuances of communication a fun thing, and very understandable. I highly recomend it to students and non-students alike!

I took a Speech class and this was the assigned textbook. Overall I felt the book was really helpful. The class was an online class, and I genuinely feel like I learned a lot from this book since we did not have lectures.
The voice of the authors in the book were interesting and this made it an easy read. I have a short attention span when it comes to textbooks, but the way the author talked TO the reader instead of talking to himself really helped keep my interest.
My only complaint is that this book is only directed to the average freshman/sophomore year student. Being an adult who returned to college, I felt that some of the examples didn't relate to me.
