2.0 out of 5 stars Better books out there October 19, 2012

By Jessica Davis

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this book based mainly on good reviews and the fact that it was well publicized. If you're looking for mediocre, disorganized writing with a lot of self-promotion, this book will appeal to you. If you really just want to learn about non-verbal communication, find another, less popular book. I am disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars In need of editing September 20, 2012

By G. Hersh

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

Aren't there editors anymore? Her writing can be very confusing and causes one to have to reread some of the portions trying to make sense of what she is trying to say. There are glaring errors, as well. The caption of the Susan Smith photograh (page 136) is incorrect. On page 176, she says, "Did you spot all six differences? No?! That's because there were only five!" yet the photograph clearly shows six. On page 177, the photograph is small and fuzzy, so one is bound to get the questions wrong that she asks about it on page 178. She assumes you read her first book, therefore, some of the things she talks about go without clarification or definition. Obviously, she likes you to think she rubs shoulders with some very important people, and lots of them, because she lets you know about it every few pages or so. Why she thinks she has to use foul language is beyond me. Wouldn't it be nice for someone to make their point without having to resort to such poor word choices--is she that hard up for vocabulary that she cannot express herself any other way? On page 260, she invites you to "See if you qualify to attend Body Language Institute..." I bet anyone "qualifies" as long as they have an open checkbook. And I really don't care when and where she lost her virginity and I really don't care if her parents find out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save YOUR TIME and $cash$ this book is a Disappointment October 22, 2012

By Frank D

Format:Hardcover

-1 I felt like the Author was doing more self-promoting and self praising than anything else in this book. Ok already!!! Let me read the book I paid for and STOP asking for my cash.
-2 The book is very disorganized and I had a hard time keeping focused.

There certainly other books on the market that far exceed the information this book provides. Look for these books instead of "you can't lie to me"

"What every body is saying"
"The charisma myth"

Two of the best books I've read this year!
Read their reviews on amazon they speak for themselves .
