Ratings and reviews

Despite being constantly reminded that this was written before the internet exploded you'll realize that talk is talk. Virtually everything in here still applies in verbal and written communication today. Know your reader or listener, keep your message clear and simple, and be authentic. If you communicate professionally, read this book.

The book was informative. The beginning of the book was a good read with lots of great points being made. Near the end, the book started to become less interesting as it became more about name dropping than giving advice on how to better communicate. Overall, it was an okay read

I'm not the best communicator when it comes to talking. However, this book is a great guideline to develop your communication skills. I got learn more about Larry King and his stories. Totally recommend it!
