• Not As Good As "never Eat Alone" By Keith Ferrazzi
20 December, 2009
I thought this book was pretty good. I really like Never Eat Alone quite a bit more. Most of the principals are better covered in Never Eat Alone.

• Disappointing........
20 June, 2009
I expected more seasoned approaches to engaging socially. Many of the techniques given are cliche-ish, tired or "cute". If I had browsed the book, I wouldn't have purchased it.

• Awesome Lines!
04 June, 2009
I don't know why some people wrote such negative reviews on this book. I thought the "icebreaker" lines were some of the best I've ever read (for friendly icebreakers, not picking women/men up).
It can be a little corny and a little dated in places but overall, this is a good book and I highly recommend it over the other "how to talk to people" books on amazon.

• Only For The Pathetically Shy
07 May, 2009
This book reads like Ms. Martinet's attempt to stretch a few sentences of advice into a 190-page book. A lot of it is useless fluff and can really be boiled down into the following: "Start talking to anyone you don't know but keep it light and non-threatening. If the conversation bores you, excuse yourself politely." Everything else is just cutely worded examples of how to do those two things.
If you are really paralyzed by the thought of meeting new people then perhaps this book can help. If you are like me, someone who doesn't fear socializing but looking to polish your skills, you likely will gain nothing.

• If You Cant Talk, Buy It!
02 March, 2010
In this book theres everything you need to know about starting conversations with random strangers. From walking into the room, to starting the conversation, to ending it. I would definitely recommend this book for any shy person or just someone who wants to improve their mingling.
