KEPT ME INTERESTED

Would you consider the audio edition of What Every BODY Is Saying to be better than the print version?

I did not read the printed version but the audiobook was not bad at all.

What did you like best about this story?

The book itself is well paced. The author keeps you interested by giving you snapshots of things to come.

What about Paul Costanzo’s performance did you like?

He did the best with what he had.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. It got a bit tedious at times and every now and then I did get the impression the author was padding to make up a required word count. All that said it was worth the listen.

Any additional comments?

I had hoped he would examine certain aspects of body language in more detail but this was not the case. I would say this book is an excellent introduction or guide to those not at all familiar (as I was) to the subject. This is a worthy buy.

Any additional comments?

Great with ONE small exception . . .

This book is really interesting. The descriptions are clear - and easy to understand (even when driving and not having access to the PDF file). There were lots of "aha" moments in the book that will be useful in my interaction with family, co-workers and friends.

I have one concern, however. In the preface, the authors say that "anyone with average intelligence can learn to read body language." It is my experience that anyone who is marginalized by any kind of disability (including developmental) is very skilled at reading body language. I hope that they will reconsider their introductory statements!

Good but heavy "read"

Although hard to transition body language visual to an audio book audible, the other does an ample job keeping this piece both informative and engaging. A great read for anyone looking to brush up on their nonverbal skills.

better read by book

hard to imagine body expressions without pdf pics, his explanations do the actual explanations no justice , good book but better read than heard

Great Read
