Greta info and break down

I liked how the information given was taken into steps through the chapters. I learnt how easy it is to put humor in your speeches.

Boring

Did not like it or gain anything from it,
save your money unless you have no sense of humor at like Janet Reno

works amazingly well with a little bit of practice

Learned a lot from it. The techniques works, and Reddy made me laugh while learning.

Class material

I felt like I needed a pen & paper , he's very knowledgeable but not something you can learn & remember in a car ride!

Good advice, but he lacks a bit of delivery

A bit boring, but some good tips is presented. Hard to believe he is a good speaker from hearing how he speaks, but he knows quite a lot of the subject.
