You won't be disappointed with Ben Cardall's book. He gives you lessons and tips on how to use your mind to the fullest extent and be able to read people just from a glance. It's all here. The book is fun and engaging, a must have for anyone interested mentalism and deductions. There are many books what 'teach you to be SHERLOCK HOLMES', but this book is easily in the top ranking of best ones. The lessons are here for you! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and I'll continue to go back to it!

I won this book from Goodreads in exchange for an honest review...

And I'm so sorry I did. This book was pure rubbish from beginning to end. The author clearly worships Sherlock Holmes, but seems to have forgotten that he is a fictional character. If you can get past the obscene amount of spelling and grammatical errors (honestly, it looks like the author used a shoddy speech-to-text app and then published it without any editing or proofreading being done at all), and you want to become a dick who makes snap judgments on everyone (which the majority of the time will be absolutely wrong) based almost solely on physical appearance, and become paranoid thinking that everyone you ever speak to is lying to you no matter what, then this is the book for you; otherwise don't waste your time or money.

The definitive text-book instruction manual to The Subtle Science and Exact Art of Deductionism. Deductionist are people who study and master the skillsets of the fictional character known as Sherlock Holmes, and attempt to make them as real as humanly possible.
Ben is a master of the craft and in my not so humble opinion, the best in the world.
