Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: It could have been better... Comment: I liked this book, but while a lot of it made sense, I started to get the feeling that about a third of it was just speculation, not based on actual research. I give four stars because I had fun reading it. Customer Rating: Summary: Body Language Comment: First, you sent me the wrong book. I ordered Body Language 101. However, Body Language was an easy read. Customer Rating: Summary: The Definitive Book of Body Language Comment: Excellent information to add to your communication knowledge and skill. It gives the information that is within us but was underused. Well written; an easy read.
