The Art of Conversation
It just didn't read well. It came off as the author telling me 'Look, I'm so clever' She had too many quotes from famous people and cute stories, and she didn't make her points clearly.
Finally, the pointless flings at children with special needs would not be considered polite in any conversation-here is just one: "Attention deficit disorder- formerly known as annoying brat syndrome, is a clumsy term for a pervasive social blight: bad listening."
I skimmed the last 2/3 of the book, in hope there was some saving grace. Finding none I returned it to the library.
