Customer Rating: 
Summary: Great practical advice
Comment: This is not a blow by blow of the bells and whistles of the program. The book gives a clear presentation which re-thinks the purpose of the program: conveying information effectively. Forget what the company put into the program; use the program more effectively in presentation. Tell your story.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: beyond bullet points
Comment: I have found the book a useful tool for the developmental stage. So far, good, however, when it arrived the box was opened at the bottom, due to a lack of tape. I was lucky it ALL arrived as one.

Summary: Great System
Comment: Cliff gives some novel ideas for designing presentations. I am trying to figure out a way to use them with my sermon slides. His method is similar to what Bert Decker Teaches in Bold Assurance. Hoping to hear more from Cliff. Would love to see him write a book and relate it to Apple Keynote, which to me is a far superior presentation software package.
Good job Cliff, who after the perfect storm in Angleton, TX is probably getting right up their with Donald Trump. Great ideas!

Summary: simple but useful
Comment: For a book that is about presenting information concisely, there are a lot of unnecessary words and pages, but perhaps that's necessary to make a book out of it. Nonetheless, the information is useful, and my presentations are much better as a result of following his advice. His focus on making your main points fit into a two line title has made my verbiage much more effective, and it's kind of a fun challenge. I've modified his approach significantly to fit my needs, but without having read the book I'd still be back with overly long and kind of boring PP presentations.
If you are only going to buy one book, tho, I'd probably recommend Presenting to Win [ASIN:B000OHZG9Y Presenting to Win: The Art of Telling Your Story]] instead.

Summary: Great book, buy it now!
Comment: Great book, great concept -- it really helps you turn Powerpoint presentations on their head and turns them into a "supplement" rather than a "crutch" for your presentations. I've found my audiences to be more engaged and retain more information by revamping my presentations using Cliff's suggestions.
My only gripe is that the book seems redundant towards the middle -- almost as if he realized he didn't have enough information to fill a chapter so he had to fluff a bit.
I still would whole-heartedly recommmend this to anyone who finds themselves giving any kind of presentation.
