My first impression of Body Language is that it rambles, content with meandering along a slow winding path. I am not really a fan of short stories, unless they are horror, because they are often only a snapshot in time of the character's lives. This book is no different and I did not find any type of connection to the characters. The pages of this book, despite being a large amount of the total, did not make me want to run right out and read the rest.
