Thanks for your interest in my newest (oldest) Chinese Astrology book. Those of you who are old enough may remember this book as CHINESE CHANCE (1976). In its first incarnation, "Plain and Simple" sold millions of copies in all languages all around the world. Then, in the 80's, in paperback, sales dwindled. But in the early 90's, when I began working on the Web, readers everywhere started barraging me with e-mail wondering whatever happend to CHINESE CHANCE? So, I asked a new publisher, Charles Tuttle, to hurry and re-publish CHINESE CHANCE for my faithful fans who so missed this Mother of all Chinese Astrology books and guess what?
It's working. People love this book. It's a classic. The first and only real CHINESE ASTROLOGY book- and it also makes you laugh. CHINESE ASSTROLOGY Plain and Simple is the first of my four big books on Chinese Astrology and how it can affect your life (Love, Money,Family and Social Affairs). If you have't got this fabulous book yet, do yourself a favor and order it NOW. You will still be hiding it under your pillow 20 years hence when you're wondering about the character of your new mate or boss or the basic nature of your brand new grandchild.
I love the fact that you can read this book all over again in its new skin. Please have a good time with CHINESE ASTROLOGY PLAIN AND SIMPLE. I am most gratified when people laugh at my jokes and still manage to learn something from what I write.
If you want to contact me, my e-mail is CHINASTRO@aol.com. See if you can guess my CHINESE sign.
Cheers! Suzanne White

TITLE MISLEADING,
By
This review is from: Chinese Astrology Plain and Simple (Paperback)
this is a story book! this book is only based on HER life experience and OPINION. If that's what you're looking for then this book is fine, and it may be interesting to you if you want to read of one person's experience as evidence of the validity and reliability of the chinese zodiac. but personally it was not helpful for me, because i'm not interested in reading someone else's opinion for this subject, because i already have my own, you don't need to convince me that people display characteristics of their sign. this is a story book, so the title is misleading! it's not a bad book, but it wasn't useful to me, it's just not what i thought it was going to be, it's not what i was looking for.

What kind of an animal ARE you?,
By
This review is from: Chinese Astrology Plain and Simple (Paperback)
Have you felt miffed and somewhat insulted in the past when someone told you that you were an animal? Wouldn't it be enlightening to find out just what kind of an animal you are? In Suzanne White's your beast. The book, as the name implies, is easy to understand and fun to read. For those who feel jaded and lackluster about everyday life, this book brings incredible insight detailing the different personas determined by the year in which you were born. The chapters also include a sub-category which combines your Western and Eastern signs to provide specialized info and a separate read for both the females and the males of the Chinese chart. Authoress Suzanne White sprinkles the book with stories of Horses, Tigers, Goats (...and so on!) she has known throughout her life, safeguarding the book against the dry and clinical air so many non-fiction books assume. You will learn compatabilities in affairs of the heart, social affairs, business affairs, and family affairs. And if all these juicy tidbits weren't enough, the best gift of all is bestowed upon the reader... the grand finale of the book tells what each year holds in store for your sign! Whether you have an passionate interest in astrology, or just like an amusing (and INTERESTING) read, I highly recommend Plain and Simple. This was Suzanne White's first book, and it is certainly no accident that it was plucked back out and re-printed for a whole new group of fans to devour!

Okay... 'Plain and Simple'. But very witty and entertaining.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chinese Astrology Plain and Simple (Paperback)
A classic work of writing genius, agility, and humor. Suzanne White puts the reader on a trampoline, bouncing him lightly through the otherwise complex study of Asian astrology. The book is sprung with anecdotes about real life. Instead of boring charts teaching me about my planets rising on my Seventh House, White doesn't tell. She shows.Once you've overcome the horror of discovering you're a Pig or a Snake like me, or a Rat like my brother Steve, you will identify with a great number of traits connected to your own Chinese Animal Sign. Fascinating. Entertaining. Educational. I am so hooked on CHINESE ASTROLOGY PLAIN AND SIMPLE that we are planning a Tiger Party for my girlfriend's birthday.
