katje's review
2.0
Read it for school, so didn't do a cover-to-cover, just assigned chapters.
Did learn some stuff about business communication that I didn't know before, so it was useful in that regard.
However, the book was very "Hello, fellow kids." At one point it talked about how young people spend their time "twittering." Twittering. Not tweeting. Twittering.
Also, its advice regarding email newsletters should be taken with a heaping spoonful of salt.
Kind of seriously out of date in places. Hopefully the new edition coming out soon will update those bits for the next round of students about to spend way too much on textbooks. (Book buyback today gave me LESS THAN NINE DOLLARS for this tome that cost me something like $100 when I bought it so I'M A LITTLE BITTER.)
