Customer Reviews

Very Good
To be the best man is not an easy task (speeches, shaking hands, talkingto people). This book was a great help. It helped me put things in perspective, create an awesome speech (I received many congratulations for my speech) and we had a great great time. The wedding was an absolute SUCCESS.
I definitely recommend this book.

So-So Book
I've written a couple of reviews of books about being a best man because I just bought a bunch and went through the process. In the end, all of them were incomplete. This one doesn't cover much beyond the speech, and there are better quotes online.

I found a good ebook called The Best Man Bible. That was the most comprehensive and worth the time and money.
