Most Helpful Customer Reviews   31 of 32 people found the following review helpful: One of the better Best Man books about, 24 Aug 2002 By A Customer 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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   17 of 18 people found the following review helpful: OK, but there's better help out there, 31 May 2003 By  Simon Wisley - See all my reviews 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!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (
