Read most of it for a speech class so no review

I read this for my speech class. It's well written. Everything you would ever want to know about speech. Unfortunately, it's incredibly boring.

honestly there's not much to say except most of this feels like easy knowledge to come by and it was a boring textbook I just skimmed through most of it
