Overall Quite Good!
The book walks you through public speaking in a logical and easy-to-understand fashion. From starting out with the challenges of public speaking to structuring your speech, all very helpful and useful. Reading a book is good and so is understanding the concepts. This book can get you that far, the next step is putting it into practice. One minor drawback is that each subchapter is numbered and read aloud (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc) about every 4 minutes, just seems to break the flow of the narration a little to much. Overall, highly recommend!
