One of the better Best Man books about,
By A Customer
This review is from: Be the Best, Best Man and Make a Stunning Speech (Paperback)
While being full of useful information, I felt that there was a lot of 'padding' material used to increase the page-count and justify the price. The structure of the book is also rather muddled and I found myself constantly hopping between chapters trying to follow a thread.
Despite this, the checklists of things to do and advice for before, during and after 'the big day' is all extremely useful. The Speech writing guide is excellent and provides solid advice for people that have never written or delivered a speech before (it saved my neck!). The book also covers some of the other roles a Best Man can be asked to carry out, including the conduction of the days events and sorting out any problems.

brilliant for the beginner,
This review is from: Be the Best, Best Man and Make a Stunning Speech (Paperback)
what an excellent book!!!!its a stark contrast to all the other books i've looked at, it gives you much needed history of bestman duties, and it's implications on your modern duties, read it and you will be impressed!!!

OK, but there's better help out there,
This review is from: Be the Best, Best Man and Make a Stunning Speech (Paperback)
I bought this book in the hope that it would really help me in writing a great speech, but I was left a bit disappointed.There's useful background information, and some good ideas, but there's better help out there for best men who want to give a funny and memorable speech. A friend of mine gave an absolute killer speech the other month, having found a website with loads of lines from real past speeches - thebestmanspeech.com, if I remember. I wish I'd found it too!
