Book is well intentioned but feel as if it could be significantly condensed. Author is well informed on the subjecy but book is quite repetitive in some parts.

It's a really lightweight book and an easy read. The author helps you along with great stories and actionable steps you can take to improve. I'd definitely recommend it.

Enjoying this book thoroughly, was exactly what I was looking for and already feeling the benefits of the recommendations in the book.

Good start and a few interesting ideas overall, but reading the two-page appendix alone would replace 80% of the content. Could be useful to enhance one's general communication skillset, but not so much for an actual small talk.

I enjoyed this book it contains a lot of really useful, practical information. I didn’t think before about the structure of spontaneous answers but it make’s perfect sense and I think this is something that will help me a lot, I’m looking forward to putting it all into practice now.

I haven't finished reading the whole book yet. I only finished about half of it. I feel I must say a big thank you to the author Matt. I'm a bit introverted and very bad at spontaneous talk. If it's a high- stake spontaneous talk under high pressure, I would totally freeze easily. My brain went completely blank and I didn't know what I can talk about even for a topic that I know well. I'll take an IELTS test and I'm terrified of the speaking test, not because I'm worried about my English skills, because I'm so scared of spontaneous talk, especially I have quite bad test anxiety. I told my friend that I even didn't know how to answer all the questions in my mother language. And I even wished that I can have a very talkative soul. I broke down few times and couldn't sleep well at night. I cried few times while I was reading the book, because all the speech frozen stories deeply resonated with me. I find the book is very helpful. With all the strategies and tactics, I found I can respond very well to every question. It's amazing to find out that I actually be able to talk about any topic a lot. I'm not sure how I will go during the actual test, and I don't have much time to practice all the tactics. But this book significantly calmed me down. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

Ci sono spunti interessanti di riflessione. Però è un po' tanto prolisso, pieno di esempi, aneddoti. Difficile lettura, dispersivo.

If you’re someone who struggles with communicating your thoughts clearly and fluently; I recommend purchasing this book. It breaks down practical strategies and structures you can apply while communicating. This would benefit anyone who finds themselves communicating often. For example: presenters, teachers, pastors, spontaneous communication at events, etc.
