To the point, succinct, game-changer!
Easy listening and some very good better communication tips. Well explained good for essay writing and managing speeches. A good aid for how to assimilate vast amounts of information quickly with practical examples from the author’s real life experiences as a journalist. This book has enhanced my communication skills and predicting questions of my content was a massive game-changer.

Excellent
This could be on of my favourite self-improvement books of all time. Well worth listening too. I have noticed or experienced quite a few of the observations mentioned in the book. So, it was interesting to hear about them more completely in a way that I had not understood.

That there are clear steps to take towards better explanation
I need to listen again because there is a lot of very useful information. But this book gives me hope that I can explain myself better.

Extra PDF would be useful
Extra PDF would be useful for audio version. Buy the actual book. Lots of great tips.

Does what it says on the tin
Read this if you want a clear eloquent guide to explaining things clearly and, um, eloquently.
The methodical, logical process will help you organise your thoughts, whether your mind is spinning wildly or you’re starring at a blank page.
So good that I bought the hardback after listening to the audiobook. And Ros seems like a thoroughly nice bloke too.

Masterful
Brilliant, clear, & practice. Nothing else needed. His voice and its association make this sound masterful - back by evidence of delivering. Constantly
