Summary: Not so good.
Review: When buying this book, I thought I will master the skills of communication, after all who would be better than Larry King to teach me how to talk?Unfortunately, I did not gain much of this book. Well I can't blame Larry for not letting out his secrets of communication, he is definitely aware that competitors will read it too! I recommend How to Win Friends and Influence people instead.

Summary: Basically Speaking
Review: Would you rather go to the dentist or have to give a speech? If you answered honestly, you'd rather get a filling, an extraction and a root canal than to speak in front of an audience. The truth is at some point in our lives we all will have to speak in front of a group. If you're a Communications Major, like me, that day is coming sooner than you think. Unless you hit a big lottery jackpot, you will someday have to interview with a prospective employer for a position. We all will be guest at a social gathering, and whether it's large or small there will be conversation. Everyone experiences nervousness when speaking to strangers...by following the basic tips Larry gives in this book your next public communication experience will be less stressful, you will appear more confident at your next job interview and make a better impresion at your next social gathering. After reading this book, I realize that talking/communicating is essential. According to Larry, no matter the event the principles of conversation are the same:be open,find the common ground with your partner and always listen. These basic tips will have you communicating effectively, professionally and with confidence. The only thing separating good communication and bad communication is the desire to have it...basically speaking.
