4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, 30 Jan 2009
By Karen Thurman "amazon geek" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book after I bought Nancy Duarte's Slide:ology book. Beyond Bullets is a good presentation book, very well structured, very thorough. But, it didn't excite my creativity in the same way Daurte's book. My suggestion? But both. Beyond Bullet Points will give you the structure, Slide:ology will stimulate your creative ideas.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing and not design led, 5 Nov 2009
By C. M. Perkins (Stirling, Scotland.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The title is encouraging and Cliff certainly does have an alternative approach to a stack of bullet point filled slides, but he's not a designer and his book is nowhere near as good as Garr Reynolds' 'Presentation Zen' or Nancy Duarte's 'slide:ology'.

Cliff has a method. A pretty rigid format and process to create slides that look OK - certainly an improvement on 90% of what's out there - but it just doesn't have that magic or the creative edge. It's no surprise that this is a Microsoft book, lots of processes to follow to use the software and not a lot on creative design.

Plus I'm looking for more versatility and design inspiration than Cliff's one big idea - I don't want every one of my presentations to look the same.

I give it two stars for two good points: his use of visual motifs to link a presentation and help it flow (which, to be fair, isn't covered in the other two books above); and his explanation about how to get the best out of Presenter View (contained in the appendices on the CD).

If you really want to power up the impact you can make with PowerPoint, look at the designers' books first (Robin Williams 'Non-Designer's Presentation Book' is another good one just published).

1.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing, 1 Nov 2009
I was looking for practical advice to improve my powerpoint presentations and, based on previous reviews, thought that this would be a useful tool. I am quite dissapointed. It's too long, too wordy, it comes with a very long story about screenplays and storyboards. A very long story for little practical advice. I do not recommend this book.
