Title: A complete waste of time and money
Review: I bought this book on the strength of several other reviews and its rating, but I don't think I have ever been so disappointed in a book in my life. This should be titled, "The Absolute Moron's Guide to Conversation". There is nothing in here that anyone with the most rudimentary social skills doesn't already know.Wow, I didn't know that I shouldn't call people when they are in a movie theater, or that discussing death is poor social etiquette at a party. And what isn't obvious is patently ridiculous.I teach English conversation skills to non-native speakers and was hoping that I could find some tips that would help my students. Sadly, even my least skilled students would find this book far beneath them.
