This book was not well written and was hard to read since chapter one was also chapter 16

The Interpersonal Communication Book offers a clear and comprehensive overview of communication, covering a wide range of topics in an accessible way. I especially appreciated the summaries at the end of each chapter, which made it easier to revisit and reinforce key ideas.
One aspect I found less satisfying was the use of sources. When a topic sparked my interest, I often hoped to find references to original research or academic studies, but some sources pointed instead to general media articles. While still useful, I would have preferred more direct links to primary research.
Overall, a solid and practical introduction to communication, especially as a structured overview.

Constant talk about covid dates it and there are also some dated ideas as well.

I really enjoyed this text! I read the unbound version for an Interpersonal Communications course that I took a couple of semesters ago. The material in this book is applicable; it is relevant in and out of the classroom. I gained so much useful knowledge from the course with the aid of this text. Great read!

The book wasn't so bad but this class was mind numbing. Thankfully, it was online.
