First review of Confessions is in
Mike Riley at Dobb’s Journal posted the first review I’ve seen of Confessions on a blog. Here’s an excerpt:
Scott’s recollections and revelations are highly accurate and frequently entertaining.
In summary, Confessions of a Public Speaker is a book for anyone faced with presenting an important message to an audience. This is a book that will be referenced frequently, often before giving a pubic speech or presenting at [an] important social function. Practicing the book’s tips will almost certainly improve the reader’s spoken delivery and oratory confidence.

Update: two five star reviews are up on amazon now. And neither are from my Mom!

I meant a different (worse) typo: “[...] giving a *pubic* speech [...]” (emphasis added)
BTW: Amazon states that the Kindle version is available since October 20. However, on the detail page they also currently state, it’s not available to customers in the United States.

“This is a book that will be referenced frequently, often before giving a pubic speech or presenting at important social function.” The typo in that quote is both entertaining and confusing. :)
