This book has had some very useful guidelines for presentations. Much can be learned and readily applied from this work. There were some sections that were less readily applicable to the types of presentations I'm currently doing that were thus slowed the book down for me at times, but I suppose that is going to always be a challenge for a work that tries to reach a wide audience.

Loy Machedo’s Book Review - Communication Counts by Mary Civiello with Arlene Matthews
How terrible, horrible and incorrigible can a book get?
Look no further than Communication Counts by Mary Civiello & Arlene Matthews.
A book constipated and stuffed with information overload, illogically layered with corny examples and cheesy anecdotes and presented in such a manner that you keep flipping the pages to ask yourself, how much more suffering and torture should I endure – Man this book was ARRRRGGGHHH!!!!
The miracle this author has performed by contributing these staggering 221 pages of advice, could have turned the water at Cana into, not wine but vinegar.
I am sure she wanted this book to be a great contribution. But honestly – this is a terrible book. And if you want to complicate anyone’s dream of becoming a better communicator – This book could count.
May be it is better if the name of the book is changed from Communication Counts to Miscommunication Discount.
Please do yourself a favor – Run away from this book!
Overall rating - 0 out of 100!!!
