Fun and enlightening book

Reviewed by Danielle Feliciano for Reader Views (4/06) The term "icebreaking" often brings to mind uncomfortable questions and activities used at business meetings and conferences. This book is the exact opposite! It is packed with original, fun questions to break the ice and stimulate conversation. Further, it is not designed with the business world at its sole audience. These questions are just as applicable to strangers at a conference as they are to best friends who have known each other for life. The questions in this book can be used as journal prompts, small group activities in a classroom, conversation starters at the dinner table, or as something to pass the time on a long car trip. While the questions may seem light and random at first, they offer an opportunity for further examination once they are answered. This book is not filled with any extraneous text. Rather, it gets straight to the point and jumps right in to the questions. The questions are separated into chapters (or "rooms", as they are referred to in the book). These chapters include such subjects as entertainment, sports, home economics, psychology, and religion, making it very easy to go straight to the types of questions most applicable to the individual situation. "Icebreaking 101" is a book that takes the discomfort out of people getting to know each other, or of getting to know themselves. This is a fun, enlightening book that anyone would benefit from checking out.
