I
obtained a PDF.file copy of this book through a LibraryThing giveaway the
author recent had and the following in my honest opinion.
While
the author did what appears to be a thorough job in researching the subject
matter of LIES, which included giving his readers a historical respective as
well as some psychological reasoning for people lying. I’m somewhat dubious
regarding the subtitle for the book which states that this book is THE MOST
BRILLIANT BOOK EVER WRITTEN.
To
me this statement is one of self-praise, and self-praise is no praise at
all. The intent of self-praise is to
elevate something to a level higher than it actually is. In my opinion indulging
in self-praise is insulting the intelligence of those you are trying to impress,
which is tantamount to telling a lie. There are literally hundreds of books from
various genres which are considered to be brilliant by critics so what makes
this book THE MOST BRILLIANT.
With
all things considered, the best I can give this book is 3 STARS.
