A book full of very good advice from a speech coach about how to give a public presentation. I really could have used this during school for my class presentations. The most interesting bit of advice the author gave was about answering questions during a Q&A session. She suggests keeping answers short and resisting the urge to turn your answer into a 2nd speech. It frustrates audience members that want to ask more questions. Every public speaker I have ever seen breaks this rule. I'll try to follow it though if I ever present again.

Kind of boring to read but very helpful.
