 Its a good book October 24, 2008
It's a good book. However, it provides too many examples of "definite" situations. I dont think EVERY sign can be interpreted as one conclusion.
 Get ready for an eye opening experience. October 23, 2008
In very few words, after reading this book, you will feel you had your eyes closed your entire life. You will be able to understand how people feel even when they are not saying anything.
My favorite: When a man is excited by a woman, which part of his body can grow to almost 3 times its size?..... No it's not that. The correct answer is pupils. "Pupil size is affected by one's general state of arousal"
To find many more interesting facts read this awesome book.
 I feel I've been cheated into buying the book by all the 5-star review October 23, 2008

This book reminds me when I was in grade 8, and had to finish a paper within 2 days. I would go to the library, search for keywords of the topic, and put whatever information I find into a paper. To meet the minimum word requirement, I would expand a good piece of information I find to several paragraphs, and I would also make the fonts a little bigger.
This book seems it has done all that. It has some useful information, but often a single piece of information is explained using 5 pages where a few sentences are really enough. There are some scientific experiments that are irrelevant to the topic discussed, but are there to make it seem credible. Most information, however, is based on the author's personal opinions without any scientific proof, and a simple piece of opinion is, again, explained using many pages. I can't really say the author is wrong on her opinions though, because, well, let me put it this way: It's like I can say anything about aliens -- I can't prove any of the arguments, but you can't disprove them either.
The Amazon book rating system is a great way for buyers to decide how good a book is. This time, however, it has been abused. I believe the author or publisher asked people to give 5-star reviews. I can't prove this argument, but hey, you can't disprove it either.
Very good book October 18, 2008
I'm a very academic person, by nature, and so I like to read books that have a lot of information in them, but which doesn't just present common sense over and over throughout it.
This book is a great book, in my opinion. It covers such things as the eyes, the hands, the arms, the legs, etc. You learn how to tell if people might be lying, or how they are probably feeling. I'm in the military, and when I'm on post and reading this, everyone's interested in it. Already 3 other people want to borrow it when I'm done.
The author is very easy to read, and you can tell he knows what he's talking about. This book covers pretty much anything you would think of buying this book for; dating, sales, relationships, business, etc. I would highly recommend this book if you're interested in being able to read others body language, and get a good idea of what is really going on with them, since their verbal language is only about 7% of it.
Read people AND books October 7, 2008
This book is great if you want to know what people are REALLY saying. I would recommend it to everyone.
