Summary: Good reminder list, but not well written
Comment: This is a decent book to remind us all of what we need to be doing. Although much of it is just common sense, seeing reminders doesn't hurt. There is nothing profound in it.
Unfortunately, it's not well written. This makes it somewhat painful to read and detracts from its credibility. For example, it's "chock full" of trite phrases and the inappropriate use of quotation marks. Both of these writing problems suggest that the author was not entirely comfortable with what she was saying. I still gave Ms. Roane the benefit of the doubt; perhaps she's more of a verbal person than a writer, and verbal communication is the main focus of the book.

Summary: WOAH - I wasted my money AND my time
Comment: I wish I could give this book less than a star because even 1 star is too generous for this book. The first chapter is quick to cite the important points in working a room (points that you can learn from just any other book on conversation) and the rest is just nonsensical repetition of the same facts again and again. All in all, the book has too many flaws and a too little new material to be of any value.

Summary: I'm not interested in learning Yiddish
Comment: I knew this book was not worth the paper it was printed on, when I saw in the appendix a Yiddish glossary! I mean, ethic and religious differences aside, why would I be interested in working a room speaking Yiddish? I did read through the book and found the content nothing but empty talk.
Seriously, if you want improve your social skills, read the timeless classics by Dale Carnegie.
