TALKING FROM 9 TO 5

Tannen explains gender differences in speech patterns and how these affect communication, relationships and job success. Reading the conversational reenactments, Caruso captures enthusiasm without becoming overly dramatic. Explanations of the role-played situations are presented in a straightforward way, and pauses between each situation help to clarify. Caruso's speech clearly, distinctly and eloquently preserves the integrity of the text. She reads at a steady pace with judicious use of emphasis and appropriate interpretation.
