Is Paul Costanzo a robot or a person?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I can't believe a person can sound so robotic that does this professionally. I had to speed it up just to tolerate his constant rhythm that was not appropriate for how the sentences were worded. Made this very difficult to get through.

What didn’t you like about Paul Costanzo’s performance?

Nothing.

Outstanding!

Would you listen to What Every BODY Is Saying again? Why?

What could be better than information from an ex-FBI officer who spent his time specializing in reading body language?

Don't bother with anything else on the subject of body language.

Enough said.

My new favorite book!!

This book is amazing. I was astounded by how much I learned about others and about myself. So many movements that I noticed in my now ex-husband but unfortunately didn't have the knowledge that I have now to read what they meant. If only I had listened to this book years ago!! I've also learned signals that I give of discomfort, so I can listen to myself better instead of reasoning "oh, but they are really a nice person" when around potentially hurtful people. This book will be a constant companion in helping me to navigate relationships with others and will be helpful in work situations as well. Simply excellent!!

verry good information

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

this book was very good. He is dry and it takes a little bit to get into it but it is overall a good book and the information he shares is awesome and very relevant and worth the dryness.

Some decent tidbits, annoying narration

A good portion of what's covered in this book seems pretty obvious, and I didn't learn quite as much as I had hoped that seemed like big secrets of the trade. There are some good pointers for spotting the "tells" of someone who is trying to be deceptive or hide something. While the content is somewhat interesting, I had a pretty tough time listening through the whole thing because of the rather robotic and choppy narration. It's full of unnatural, awkward pauses in the narrative rhythm that really got to me after a while. Who talks like this? It was like he had a script that often had three or four words per line, and he had to pause to go to the next line no matter where he was in the sentence. Also if there was a star rating for audio fidelity, (I'm downloading "Enhanced" files) I'd give it one or two stars. It sounded very boxy and dry. Listen to the audio quality of The Little Book of Economics (both narration & fidelity are quite good) then listen to this sample, and you'll hear what I'm talking about.
