The book was fine, i finished it in about 2 hours. It was a interesting book but after page 20 it kinda just started to say the same things over and over again in different wording

Would not recommend

Honestly this book treats you like you don’t know how to talk to literally anyone. The information presented is so basic, that it’s almost annoying to have someone try and explain it. If you have even a basic understanding of how conversations work, I’d probably skip this book.

Weird and manipulative tactics

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2020

I'll admit that some bits in this book were sound, but most of it seems odd and off putting or just straight up manipulative. I feel like they really lost me when they started dipping into FBI interrogation techniques and lying to try and bait someone into an argument in order to get to know them better. I also feel like the examples of different techniques in action were oversimplified and not believable. I couldn't even bring myself to finish reading the book.

This book basically goes over many things I’ve already know about the art of small talk. It basically says that you need to have knowledge to continue a conversation. Not really worth reading because it’s basic knowledge perhaps someone who is new and wants to learn something or two might be interested but I found this book lot very helpful.

If you hate small talk, you will also hate reading this book

Half way through this book, and I would rather stab myself in the eye with a salad fork. Obvious, cringey, and if you think Chad who's super into networking at your companies holiday party is totally annoying, you will not be any more excited about small talk by reading this.

A boring book about talking?! Smh

It’s a boring read. The writing is terrible about small talk; go figure. Some good bits. Wouldn’t recommend it. It’s tough to get through. Pass on it.
