[Daniel Simmons · Rating 2 out of 5]

Lots of helpful advice here, and I appreciated the frequent doses of humor. Minus a star for the embarrassing number of typos and editorial mistakes (all the more embarrassing given that this is a text meant to help presenters with their English!).

Very interesting and helpful in creating my Presentations and Public Speaking EFL class.

Chapter 19: Advice for Native Speakers was also very interesting and helpful, though I don't think it will get the audience it deserves as native speakers are less likely to pick up this book.
