"This is not a great read. The writing reflects a lifetime of writing for psychology journals. But the subject of human deceit is juicy, even when the writing is dry."
"I did not finish this book so I can't give it much of a review. It was interesting, but not riveting; informative, but read more like a manual on how to lie well and get away with it rather than how to tell if someone is lying."
"The title of this book is a little misleading, as it is really about the psychology of lying, the physiological reactions that occur when someone is being deceptive, and an analysis of the profession of lie catchers (polygraph examiners, investigators, interrogators, etc.) and their efficacy. Interesting read from an intellectual curiosity standpoint, but I wouldn't put it on a list must reads."
