Great book!
I used this book for my COM 207 class; and because it was an online summer class, it was rigorous with no lecture so I was required to actually read the book. Lucky for me, the author made the book interesting so that I actually enjoyed reading it. The content in the book can actually be applied to your own life.

Communications?
I think this is a good communications book necessary for any communication student to have. What I don't like about it though is the way things are organized. Like, it's hard to find certain articles and authors. Content-wise though, I would definitely recommend it.

Easy Read
I like this book because the structure is very straightforward, and is designed in a way that makes sure you can tie everything together in the end. The author sounds intelligent and very knowledgeable, but conveys ideas in terms that are easy to understand/grasp.
