I Know What to Think now
Lillian Glass gives an excellent and detailed account of every possible way to read into the words, actions, body positions of another. A very easy and well organized format in order to review and find answersat a later time.

a few good insights, nothing more
As far as reading people, this book is an okay guide. She breaks things down into easy to use categories, though much of what she says is obvious. On the plus side, there are a few interesting revelations (the info on lisping, for example), and there are quizzes to help assess your abilities to read people (though there are the inherent dangers of self-deception and misinterpretation in such self-scoring tests). She only devotes a page or two to cultural differences and neurological problems, and she makes the common mistake of assigning specific interpretations to various acts of body language. There are also some glaring signs of sloppy editing as, at one point when talking about Lady Di, she makes a reference to a previous mention of her in the book which does not exist, and at another point refers to information in an appendix which does not exist. If you must read this, skim or speed-read it, as it's not worth much more of your time than that.

Awesome book!
Dr. Glass does it again with another great book. Body language is very interesting and you can learn a lot from it.

Very Critical Of People, But Not Bad If Read With An Open Mind...
This book has some strengths & weaknesses. The detail it goes into can be quite informative, and in some way the information is right; HOWEVER, I wouldn't recommend this book for the paranoid or sensitive. In my opinion, the author is extremely critical and this comes across in her writing. She has, in some shape or form, managed to turn everything people do into something negative or something that you should be suspicious of, which shouldn't be the case. The author writes like everything she says is FACT. In our psychology class we've always been taught to keep an open mind - after all, each individual has differences, and nobody is perfect! This author probably doesn't even realise the attitude she writes this book in.I made the mistake of letting a friend read this book before I did, and she became very self conscious, picking at all the things that, in this book's opinion, mean that she is an aweful person (I assure you she wouldn't hurt a fly!).I admit, I never finished reading this book, because the more I read, the more things I found to criticise about the author. She needs to learn that just because someone avoids eye-contact with her, they aren't necessarily lying to her face, they could just be insecure!On the good side, if you take this book with a pinch of salt, the information is quite interesting - just keep in mind, there are no facts in psychology, everything to do with behaviour is based on THEORY (thats not saying it's wrong; it's just not set in stone). The author does mention at one point to take into account people with mental-health problems; though, she fails to remind the reader about general individual differences, and that not everything she says is to be taken so literally.
