A good textbook on Communication.

Freedom. . . Sweet freedom. . .

But as far as textbooks go, this one actually wasn't that bad! Easy to follow and pretty casual.

This was actually my favorite textbook to read for Fall 2011 semester. Although it wasn't too bad for the most part, it had too much that wasn't really needed. I'm sure most people would actually take that stuff and read it, but I just skipped them because they weren't really all that important to my class.

The book was good and my class, taught by Kaidren Sergienko, was AWESOME!
