User Reviews about The Interpersonal Communication Book 12th Edition
I used this book several years ago, when I filled in for a professor on leave. He used this book in his interpersonal communications class and I just followed suit.
I love it. Devito writes in a conversational tone that makes the most difficult concepts readily understandable. His examples were relevant, and I was able to create real-world exercises to explore the information he presented. Devito's explanation of acculturation and culture shock provided a great context when I screened John Sayles' movie "Brother from Another Planet."
My teaching position only lasted a year. I kept the book and I read it from time to time. Now that I'm a freelancer, I use it to come up with ideas for magazine articles. I wish the latest edition wasn't so expensive; otherwise, I'd buy a newer copy. -- I read this book to teach a class, but now I read it for pleasure
This book was shipped in a timely manner and was exactly what I expected it to be. Thank you for the honesty! -- No surprises
I was very pleased with my purchase. Very good condition. Although, it is not the book advertised. I received the International version, it was still usable. -- Very good purchase
The book was just as described. Very cheap price. Arrived early. A total saver for college. -- Great Transaction!
