  • The book is between 2 and 3 stars. Not all speeches in the book are charming. But for those that are, I rated it 3-star.

    Given up halfway to read Larry King's, which is a good move because after reading Larry King's book, i think it'll give me more insights to the speeches. I will pice it up again after finish reading King's.
