This has some good information in it, it was interesting. There were also parts that I had to push through.
I saw this in the gift shop of the DC Spy Museum and thought it looked interesting. So I got the audiobook version when I came home. It was an interesting topic that I’d never thought much about before. The audiobook version was kind of rough, I had to slow it down to .85 speed. If I were really looking to deep dive and apply this info, I’d probably want the hard copy of the book and to read it slowly a chapter at a time taking a break between chapters to a sort and apply. But it was an interesting overview of an interesting topic.
Very helpful book with practical approach. Chances Ste high, I can keep some of the hints in my daily life
I read this as a wim, and that's all it was. I'm not sure whether my studies of English Language made this dull or lack information, as it predominantly was describing different sentences and how they affect the audience to respond.
Information was well presented but I have heard most of this information in other courses I've taken on this subject. They should have gotten a better narrator though for the audiobook.
This was a very good effort, but the author missed an opportunity here by making the book follow his classroom exercises. The book, intended for people outside his classroom setting, should have explored exercises that do not make use of role-players. There are more than a few exercises that can be completed by regular people. It is made obvious that the Author believes in the classroom learning model however. This doesn't make the book bad, in fact I learned a lot. The Author was able to make me curious about the topic and excited to try out some of the ideas.
I have already used a few of these ideas, and I am certainly more aware of my questioning style having read this book. I think that your average reader, if not employed in one of the professions detailed in these pages, can gain some very valuable techniques with a little practice and some self-reflection. For those who ask questions everyday, it is worth examining your questioning style to determine if these techniques can benefit you and those you deal with daily.
I would recommend this book. It isn't life-changing, not for me at least, but it was worthwhile.

I appreciated Pyle's straightforward and fairly rigorous approach to asking questions. Definitely a useful guide for anyone who has to do interviews (or anything like them) for a living.

Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
Why I added this book to my TBR pile: I saw this years ago on Audible and put it on my list.
Will I read more by this author / about this subject?Probably Not Maybe Definitely
I read this for work, thinking it would help with my job. It was okay, but I do better using text based material if I want to retain information. As for more on the subject, I don't know if I want to do more work at home.
The narrator was Walter Dixon. Mr. Dixon is a very fast reader. Maybe he has refined his pace in subsequent performances.
