2.0 out of 5 stars Too little of too much, 29 Aug 2002
Two significant problems I had with this book. First of all I think the author has tried to cover too much in too short a space and has skimmed over a number of situations you may need help with rather than give more thorough advice with a fewer number of scenarios. What is left is a book that doesn't cover enough of any area. I think Don would have been better concentrating on certain aspects of meeting people, such as strangers and casual aquaintences. I think there must be loads to write on that area alone.

Secondly, I think there are some very significant differences in social behaviour between UK and US and this book is obviously more suitable for American readers. Some of the tips I would imagine are very useful but in the UK I don't think they would go down very well. Personally, I wish I hadn't bought it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Impressed, 1 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Start a Conversation and Make Friends (Overcoming common problems) (Paperback)
I bought this book as I may be considered to be a little shy when it comes to breaking the ice and meeting new people, but this book is aimed towards the socially inept of which I am certainly not. I was so disinterested with what this author had to say I gave up on it about 3/4 way through. My advice would be to buy "Conversationally Speaking", much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy the book, not the tape., 5 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Start A Conversation Cass # (Audio Cassette)
Don does an excellent job in his book illustrating tips for starting conversations. But his tape misses alot. I would recommend his book, but then get Debra Fine's Tape on Small Talk, the two go very well together.
