Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I feel I've been cheated
Review: I am sorry to say that I was disappointed by this book. Excuse me, not a book. The content qualifies for a good article, not for a book. I guess the size of the printed words, suited for a pre-schooler, was necessary to make it a book!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Should Be an Article
Review: Like most of the other reviewers, I am disappointed. Too much of the overly large print on small pages was wasted on anecdotes. Far too little was spent on facts. It would be an easy deduction that the author spent time in the legal profession solely from the repeated disclaimers, hedged opinions and references about cultural relativity.

The only tidbits I found worthwhile were the references to more fundamental source material.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: How many times can an author rate his own book?
Review: Looks like he has two ratings under his own name and then several others from "a reader" which have many suspicious consistencies. Interesting, and I almost bought this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally, an easy-to-read and thorough body language book!
Review: Mr. Mogil's just released book is a compelling and easy-to-read sumary of the body signs and signals we can use to see whether people are telling us the truth. Unlike many other lawyers who speak down to the reader with complex words and concepts, THIS work is so crystal clear as to be a pleasure to read, and hard to put down. He includes studies of him with Presidents, and an analysis of Iraq's Tariq Aziz that shows in a TV interview how he is a liar. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Self-Analysis
Review: Since I myself am the author of this book, it's probably inappropriate to advise you, gentle readers, to run right out and buy one since it will bring you "fame and glory." I leave that for my OTHER review. WHat I CAN tell you is that I enjoyed writing it immensely, have had it reviewed by some major newspapers and TV, and hope it helps, even a bit, in the developing science of body language. (And the royalties won't hurt either, so BUY one just for the heck of it!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An extraordinary new work on body language and privacy zones
Review: This crisply written book, with excellent photos and examples, points out how to read body language and use zones of privacy to validate the veracity of those with whom we must deal on a daily basis. Compared the the previous academic works on the same subject since around 1970, this is to the point, accurate, and based upon the author's 25 years of experience as a judge, prosecutor, defense lawyer, jury selection consultant, and (I suspect) an intelligence agent. It is worth the price, reads quickly, and is a "saver" for the library of anyone who likes or needs to "read" people. The best written to date, in my opinion. If you merely want an encyclopedia of mannerisms or gestures, go elsewhere; if you wish an insightful analysis of the most important motions and theories, this book is for you!
