I have this textbook for my Organizational Communications class and I have to admit this is one of the hardest to read textbooks I have ever come across. I know that textbooks are for learning but the author's verbose style does not seem to engage the reader and while it is probably one of the better books for the class it was intended to teach, the only engaging part of the book are the real world examples used. If you have to read this for a class, please dedicate extra time as you will be re-reading many of the pages and even then, the content might not sink in easily.

I have this book for my Organizational Communications class and from the Prefix and 1st Chapter, I can see this will be a horribly boring class if all material is taken from this book. My biggest complaint is the typset is very small and a larger print is not offered. The sentences run on and on and on, get to the point. Also, this is text book only, as in the real world it doesn't work this way. Most people use email to communicate and that is the worst communication I have ever seen. Rarely do people meet face to face anymore and managers hide behind electronic communications and closed doors. This book is a pipe dream and I would really like to know where these types of communication are actually being used. I really wish college would teach real world principals. Paying a fortune to get my degree and I get offered a book like this to learn from, get real and a reality check.
