A Nice Book for the Lazy Reader
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The easiest book to read-- ever. It feels like a face to face conversation. Allen was best known as a comedian and television host/producer. He wrote more songs than an one else according to the Guinness Book of World Records. As a highly paid speaker, he has credibility as a writer of a speech book. His advice on stage fright seems the most well round and useful I have run across. It is not a book about humor, but there is a good chapter on the subject. He has great advice about speech rehearsal. Advise on researching, writing, and editing speech is superior to many other authors. The four final chapters that would only be of value to a famous person that chooses to pick up extra money speaking. Almost no matter what made you famous you can extend your good earnings life by speaking for money. Steve Allen, when he was alive and in this book, did a great public service by trying to help performers understand that the use of foul language degrades their effectiveness not soley because it is bad form but because they are weak words that convey little extra meaning. His broader appeal to use the English language as the high art form that it is, has not been put forward by enough authors of speech books...
