"I listened to the audio version of this book, and I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Breaks down public speaking step-by-step. Her examples of boring speakers (Bob Dole, Michael Dukakis?!) are very 1980s."

" This book offers the same advice found in many other public speaking books. I liked the appendix where it nicely summarized all 101 secrets in an orderly manner. "
— Jacob, 7/3/2012" Pretty predictable and I knew most of it, but an easy read and good to have a reminder. I liked the part on using a mic, since I often speak at venues that have old-fashioned equipment. "
— Coco, 4/5/2009" Many of the secrets covered in this book are very technical and detail-oriented. It would be helpful if I actually practice these technices. But it is also helpful just to know some of the principles. "
