Logan: This book is very well written it reads quickly and fast but it's packed full of details and examples on how to improve your speech and etiquette. I bought this book because I am a competitive debater who wanted to improve my rhetoric skills. This book did help me improve not only my rhetoric skills, but also critical thinking, and speech etiquette. Easily one of the best parts of this book are the examples that use to help prove why rhetoric is important is and why we should use proper rhetoric.

Letter Size: I teach rhetoric and communication at my local community college, and my son and I reading this book together. Very readable for his age group, but some of the Simpsons references are before the average teenager’s time.
The author, however, mistakes chiasmus for antimetabole. They share similar aims, but chiasmus reverses the concepts, and antimetabole reverses the actual language.

catherine laughlin: I'd looked for textbooks and used others to help teach my college persuasive writing class and hadn't been able to find something that spoke to the students. Jay Heinrichs' book is a fast read while implementing solid argument inventions into his writing. There are exercises and examples which help with my writing class.
This is a really good book on rhetoric that has the fundamentals of rhetoric, calling up the roles of Socrates and Aristotle on language. It also encompasses how to apply these ideas to everyday conversations with family and friends.
After reading this book, you will look at everyone, especially talking TV pundits, so differently. If only we all could have a little bit more informed rhetoric inside of us going on, we might not be so polarized as we are now. Truly is a skill for all.

MelaniaMelania: It is a book recommended to me by my professor. I just started to read the first chapter. It is easy to understand and provides a method, but it takes some time to practice. For me, it is a good reading companion.
