"Langemack provides a superb one-volume how-to-do-it book that covers anything a novice would need to know and some things of which experienced booktalkers might need reminding.... She enlivens the text with many boxed personal anecdotes of booktalk situations.... Beyond its utter practicality, the book is really hilarious in spots and a good, interesting read.... This wonderful, engaging book is a great addition to the arsenal of tools librarians serving young adults need to have - and use." - VOYA, December 2003
