good book

[Artemis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well laid out and very clear material but sometimes went on and on about the subject. Could cut back on some content

[Jacia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty good beginning for communications in the workplace. Very dry, to be honest, but that’s the nature of the classes.

[Avid Reader and Geek Girl · Rating 2 out of 5]

Great book for an 18-yr high school kid looking for a job.
