I got the book just before Christmas (actually which one of you got? My mum got me one as well you see and that also mentions Mary)and I was so awed to see that woman and that case actually existed. Paul Ekman's books are really insightful aren't they? And his writing style is so easy to read.

Oi!! That's so cool!!!! I got Telling Lies but I got it in Spanish (fuck it, I couldn't find it in English and I wanted to read it, and the cover was so mufugly that it came with a kind of outer package with Tim's face on it and I said I WANT THAT).

But yeah, from the translation it seems as though his writing style is not just for academics who are insterested in the subject but for everyone who might be. :)
