Overall a Meta-analysis in book form.
Book seems interesting with the title. I was curious so I bought it. I was overall disappointed 😞 😔 😕. The book is a sum up of information that you could easily read online for free. I recommend this book for people who wants an introduction to any human psyche context. But if you are a highly informed person in this topic, don't buy it. All the best to you Patrick King.

    Has some decent research to back up its claims to reading body language, communication, etc. Great for those who are just starting in an interpersonal role. Wouldn’t recommend for master class.

    I am 200 pages deep and already feel its worth a review. The book has numerous grammatical errors so ill start with that. Pretty upsetting actually to see , I can remember at least a handful and im 2/3rd done the book... Material is very basic. You can tell the author stretched this out to make it a 280page book cause its a very fast read, the pages are small and the spacing of the lettering is to stretch things out to hit that page limit for a book (seems everyone tries to at least hit 280-300p per book, and you can tell this author really tried to do this lol). Its very 3/5. Its worth the 20 bucks and quick read through, but if you have any introductory level into body language and psychology, you dont need this book. If you are brand new and this is all news to you, this could be a good book to start with as its very easy to read. You can read the entire book in like 5 hours if you wanted to. Say 8 hours maximum even as a slower reader. 40 - 50 pages takes 40min to get through, so you can get an idea right there how small the pages are and how much spacing in the words to stretch it out. To me its worth the 20 bucks but not a dime more.
