L Michael Hall And Bobby Bodenhamer
Review by Helen Platts

Target audience: Current nlp-ers who have had some exposure to sleight of mouth patterns; or those who are looking to find out about them

Summary of content: Bury mole-like though the compacted earth of the Sleight of Mouth Patterns presented in this book, through filter of 6 directions and 20 levels of questioning

Recommended features: Useful as a reference book to check out the questions for each Sleight of Mouth pattern; although the way the book is set out does not help one to use it in that way

Personal impressions: Not sure that I ever broke ground with this one. Felt I sat somewhat like a lost mole with a rather dense, clay like earth around me. As a book to read about and use to apply the Sleight of Mouth Patterns, its lay out and visuals would benefit from more space: (thus speaks the big chunker!) as a reference book, its indices do not lend themselves to quick and easy access. I leafed back and forwards trying to find the relevant section to apply. I am just about to compare this with Dilt's "Sleight of Mouth", which already has a cleaner, less cluttered. more structural approach to what is, in my map, one of the most important tools of NLP.
