    Not very helpful

    This book offers terrible advice and is written in a very monotone voice

    Don't stop at this book. Keep looking

    If you really need this book, you must have been home-schooled all your life and are interacting with other people for the very first time. This book is strictly small talk. No real conversation advice. If you need to learn how to ask "what do you do for a living?" then buy the book.
