Thanks to NetGalley for the Audio ARC!

2.75/5 stars

This was just okay....it spent most of the book talking about the types of lies, who is most likely to lie, and the situations that garner the most lies....all of which was fairly common sense. And another good portion was spent referencing Erikson's other books...which is fine some but this was enough that it was a turn off. The last 15% or so was really quite interesting, and honestly I enjoyed the appendix more than the book itself.

I think if you need a super easy non-fiction for any reason, this is a good candidate - but if you want something really impactful or thought-provoking....keep moving.

Well written and well narrated, with a wealth of information packed into this book.
"Surrounded by Liars" was one I enjoyed as an audiobook, but not certain if I would have liked it as much in book form.
The narrator did a great job to immerse the listener into the title and overall an through provoking read.
