Pretty basic, a couple of decent ideas but I couldn't finish the set. Flat and boring

I did learn some very good things on public speaking. I know this would help anyone who needs to over come their fear of speaking in public. I would recommend it.
Decent but Introductory

This book is geared toward the novice, although I was able to glean certain elements of practical advice. It is short and to the point, so still worth the read, even for a more experienced speaker.

This book was very enlightening. The subject matter didn't really interest me in the beginning, but I needed to read up on it. I never thought such a topic could be so compelling. This book has completely changed my thoughts towards public speaking for the better. I'm so glad I listened to it.

This book is geared toward the novice speaker. If you're looking to further develop your speaking skills, this isn't the book for you. If you're just beginning, probably a really good read.

This book introduced new, helpful ideas not found in other books on the topic. The tips I found most valuable were those on controlling breathing. You'll find the breathing exercises very effective if you've ever found yourself out-of-breath during a talk. The author included other useful tips on topics such as developing the right mental outlook and interacting with the audience. It was well worth "the read."

Fearless was just like if you were in school. If the subject is one you are very interested in, then you’ll find the book helpful. Otherwise, it’s not entertaining, doesn’t grab the reader, and needs more life experiences or funny stories to keep the reader involved.

If you're interested in improving your public speaking, this recorded book may really help you. I listened to it, took some notes, and applied them to my next presentation. It worked very well for me. This book starts a little slow, but it is filled with useful tips for speaking in meetings, in front of groups, etc. The main focus of this book is to help readers be more comfortable in these types of situations. It did that for me.

Not bad, although not what I expected. It's actually for people with a real fear of speaking, and for that it can't be listened to while driving. Some good tips, though.
