1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Go There! Shop Around!!!, 10 Sep 2001
By sgsperoni@aol.com (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
I did not get any value from this book at all. It was slow, boring and did not add anything to my speech preparation. After reading this I thought it was targeted at an older audience. It was way out of touch with todays 'Best Man' much the same as one of my Dad's cardigans! If you wanna play safe so not to offend anyone, buy this, write your speech and watch as the guests fall asleep as you deliver it! Not for anyone with a pulse or a Best Man who would not like wedding cake being thrown at him!

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent all rounder, 27 Jul 2005
if you have little emotion, and intend to churn out a text book speech [that most guests will have heard before in a slightly different format] this IS NOT the book you. If you want to project yourself as confident, clear, interesting, humorous and sensitive to the true meaning of the day whilst entertaining the assembled guests, buy it. My speech went down a storm, because it was written from the heart following the simple guidelines within this excellent and very accessible book. If that isn't for you, do it the easy way, though don't expect the plaudits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes the speech a piece of cake!, 11 Sep 2009
By D. Grey (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I used this book to help me along with my best mans speech and I'm very glad I did.

The book breaks down the speech into sections with many examples in each section that can be used and modified to make a complete whole. The advice on body language and `ad lib' one lines in response to hecklers I found a great comfort as well as tips on the delivery.

Sample speeches can be found at the end of the book just to show what can be done!

For the price you can't go wrong.
