"This is a well-written, informational, and educational book. It provides good advice for anyone interested in being able to communicate better with other people in all facets of their life. The book is well organized and provides specific do's and don'ts for almost all conceivable conversational situations. The only section that I felt was weak was the one regarding male-female conversations. The sections on how to talk with grieving people are particularly strong."

"I read this book three years ago. I found it while cleaning house last month. I read it again quickly. This book is very good at providing basics in polite conversation. I do not agree with everything it advises, but the generalities are solid. I wish the author had a firm editor who did not allow grammar and sentence structure mistakes. That always distracts me from the subject. But I recommed this book to people who feel awkward in public, and when in diificult situations such as at funerals. This book will get you through almost any social situation. I was hoping to become less awkward myself, but I guess that would take a miracle, not a book! :)"
