I really enjoyed this text! I read the unbound version for an Interpersonal Communications course that I took a couple of semesters ago. The material in this book is applicable; it is relevant in and out of the classroom. I gained so much useful knowledge from the course with the aid of this text. Great read!

The book wasn't so bad but this class was mind numbing. Thankfully, it was online.
