...you won't after you read this book. In a truly unique way this book makes it apparent that our inner psyche not only shapes our homes but is affected by deliberate changes to those same surroundings.

Adventures of a Feng Shui Detective is easy to read and a fun way to discover feng shui. It was the first book I read on the subject and I found the writing to be accessible, open, engaging. It explained many of my intuitive feelings about design made me want to further explore how feng shui could bring some balance to our home.

A truly helpful book. I loved it and constantly refer back to it. I had read several other books on Feng Shui. They suggested changes to make but never related them back to results. This is a fun-to-read book about people who have made specific changes and received specific results. It's the only book on that treats the subject this way. I read it in one sitting -- acutally lying -- I couldn't sleep until I'd finished it. In the morning I began moving furniture. THE BEST. I can't wait for more from the Feng Shui Dectective.

I'm disappointed with this book. It's vague, and has very little useful information.

Outline of a case: - The client called - She visits the location without any foreknowledge of the situation the resident is in - A general description of the location - From clues, she discovers the problems - Tells the client her findings - Client confirms author's suspicions - After making adjustments the client is happy.

The only part of the case where we see some details is the clues she discovers. She explains the clues very well, but doesn't say why they are a problem.

For example, in one case where the man had just separated, the author explains that she could see the problem because in the relationship corner of his kitchen, he had a bowl of lemons, a bottle of balsamic vinegar, and a block with sharp knifes. Why? These items are common in a kitchen. What gave these clues away? Did she pick up bad energy intuitively, and it is difficult to translate into writing?

As to the solutions, again, there are no specifics, except perhaps mentionning that the offending items are relocated, but no mention of where.

If you're trying to learn about Feng Shui, don't bother with this book. Get if you're absolutely desparate to read about Feng Shui and you can't find anything else.

Valmai has done it again, only this time she has provided us with easy specific tools for growth. By letting us into her own experience right off the bat, she clearly shows us why and how she has just written a best seller.
