Picked up this book at the library because I had been asked to give a speech at a wedding and figured some tips would be good.
There was basically nothing in this I found helpful. I didn't like the sample speeches he had, the tips were really generic (don't make a joke that would offend grandma!), the "formula" didn't work for me, there weren't any real tips about the public speaking aspect, and there was nothing to convince me that Honsberger was an expert in this area.
Anyway, I made a speech and it went well, but this book was not helpful for it.
Helpful. Provided real life examples. I find though that tips would have been more helpful in a general sense versus case specific. Each couple is different
