Summary: A superb piece of writing
Comment: This is an excellent book written by a promising new author of obvious talent. the author has used her wit and erudition to create a charming little book about an often neglected subject. This book addresses the topic of conversation in all its various forms and situations fairly comprehensively. The author, in the first chapter and indeed throughout the book, presents the case for conversation successfully. It can be a little florid at times, but I am sure this is only the result of the author's vast acquaintance with the English language and also the writer's unquenchable enthusiasm on this particular subject. The book is well written with a rich vocabulary, it is often quite insightful, contains many interesting anecdotes, and lots of useful tips, complemented by a pleasing design. The book uses the anecdotes and stories to good effect by drawing many reasonable conclusions from them. The book is aesthetically satisfying in both its writing and design. It is interesting, informative, useful and a pleasure to read. All in all this is a great book which I would highly recommend.

Summary: Start talking
Comment: This book is a delight. Refreshing, informative and full of entertaining and interesting quotations. If I was Cary Grant attempting to entertain Audrey Hepburn, after reading this book I would have no inhibitions. It is almost like Dorothy Parker having a drink with Joan Rivers at the Dorchester but without the venom. A book to read before you fall asleep! It is never dull, and a great read on a ski lift.
