Doesn't teach you enough,

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Reflexology (Paperback)
This book is thick for a "Complete Idiot's Guide" book. It's packed with information. Unfortunately much of the information is on why you should try out reflexology. Funny, I bought the book because I already knew why and because I wanted to learn how to do it. In other words, the author tries too hard -- waste the reader's time -- justifying the legitimacy of reflexology.So you don't get your feet wet (no pun intended) until chapter 13, when the author starts talking about techniques. Unfortunately she's too talkative; there's a lot of unnecessary stuff, which the book falls short when it comes to really teaching you and me how to practice reflexology. The photos are okay but few. Last year I saw a colored reflexology book at the local ...store and it was a much better book, because from the very start it delved into the how. Too bad when I went back the book was already sold out. In short, this book gives you good background info on reflexology, but you won't learn much on the techniques from it.

Complete and easy to understand, well researched.,
By Elaine Nerland (healthyherbs@netscape.net) (Arlington, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Reflexology (Paperback)
This book is more than an idiot's guide, it is a professional handbook. You can follow the instructions to do self treatment. Information on essential oils is helpful. Author has a delightful sense of humor which makes reading a pleasure. A great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Not just about Reflexology but how to be and stay healthy!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Reflexology (Paperback)
Frankie's book is fantastic! She has a rare skill to be able to communicate clearly and keep it entertaining.This book is not just about the wonderful healing art, Reflexology, but discusses how the 5 body systems interact and react. Frankie talks about how you can relieve many symptoms from allergies to PMS with hand and foot reflexology as well as with other methods. I can't wait for her next book, The Complete Idiots Guide to Herbal Remedies - I know that between the two of them that I'll be able to maintain my health and heal myself naturally when I'm not quite right. I promise you will learn much more than you expect and have fun too! PS. Reflexology is GREAT DURING DATES to break the ice!!!! (just be sure to read page 6 before you ask your date for a treatment ;-)
