5.0 out of 5 starsSimple and well written
By AJ on July 20, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I bought this book used, so I cannot say anything about how good the online service is.
The book though is nice; it was very easy to read. It doesn't get too far into esoteric theories of communication that I don't care about. It mainly focuses on actual public speaking, from addressing anxiety to writing/delivering a speech.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Condition for a Used Book
By Aubreylw77 on November 14, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Book came in good time, in very good condition. No complaints, however, if you'd like to use (or are asked to use) the website that helps you write your speeches, you will have to either buy this book brand new (and probably from the school bookstore) in order for the code to be included, or purchase the code separately--it was over $25 last I checked. The code is NOT included with a used book, though this had no bearing on my own needs. Thanks for the great book! It saved me over 50 bucks buying it here. :)

1.0 out of 5 starsThis is for people who can't speak at all
By Jerry J. So on February 4, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
What a waste of garbage. I learned absolutely nothing in this book that I have not already learned by actually communicating with a human being or watching a movie.
