I'm so glad someone took the time to write a how to book on this type of public speaking. With the book's help I was able to write a roast that I gave at a party for a friend who recently finished graduate school. It was very well received, and I had people asking me to help them write roasts. Thank you Mr. Miller.

This is a terrific book that helps those who are nervous about making speeches and toasts. Useful for both business situations and social occasions. The book has great advice and lots of examples. It's about time someone wrote a book for those who want to partiicpate in toasts and roasts but never felt comfortable doing them.

This is the best book that I've seen for anyone who wants to add to the pleasantries of a retirement party, wedding reception or other festive event.

The best how to book on the subject I could find. Gives some good examples of roasts. It also gives solid ideas to incorporate into your own style of roast. Very good for framework of your roast and some ideas for jokes and anectodes. Also get a Milton Burle book or the "one-liners" book to complement this one and you're set to roast away.

The high-praise for this slim book astounds me. It is repetitious to the point of distraction. There are better books elsewhere, that can provide you with better instruction -- Milton Berle's Private Joke File, Volume One, for example.

This book was worth $[...]5 to me. I am a moderaely successful comic/writer but found it shallow and redudant...very redundant...did I mention redundant???? If you are a starting out rookie than this is a must..if you are 13 years old or older then pass on it..or at least buy it used...I'll sell mine for $[...] bucks...this guy has no real stand up time on stage..professionaly...if you've been there you know...and I've been there...and know....GV
