5 stars (Excellent help for any type of speech) - I was in a mad panic to get my thesis defense speech written, and never taken any type of speech class, I thought I was hopeless. Fortunately for me, this book saved the day and I had a great presentation thanks to the content of it. It was so helpful that it was passed around the class for help. It is easy to follow and understand, and even easier to impliment. I highly recommend it for anyone who may need to speak in front of anyone else for practical or professional reasons. ...
