Amazing!!!!!

Obergs books have turned me from a shy student with a speech impediment to a National Tournament Orator. Definately a great buy!

Wow. I mean, wow

I just think that this book is an excellent scource for any young debater, interper, orator, extemper, or any other typ of speech you could possibly imagine. I myself have competed and succeeded in many tournaments, and I can honestly say that reading this book has been one of the reasons!

A wonderful insight in speech competitions
