" It presented new good ideas. However, it's a little bit boring! By the way, there is a mistake in the diagram on page 2; listening part 40% should be talking part 35%. "

" I think I needed to read the book for this and not the CD version. Very helpful topics and insight on how to listen better. Definately would have the book on hand as a reference. "

" **Audio book**<br/><br/>It was difficult to listen to this narrator's voice but once you move past that, this was an interesting and helpful book. I have been trying to put some of the listening exercises into action. "
