The book's cover artwork and brief, easy-to-follow narrative in the introductory chapters compelled me to read further, but there was nothing more substantive for me to chew on. Perhaps more elaboration on the personal years would have been more satisfying. Or better yet, the book's title should have been something like "Numbers & Your Personality." The chosen title for the book insinuates much more than what the author presents.

On the other hand, the book does a wonderful job of providing in-depth interpretations of the personality numbers. There was a sense of completeness in that portion of the book. The first half of the book left me so empty, however, the thought of returning it to the bookstore did cross my mind.

As the previous review mentioned, this book is for beginners, and I'm a beginner; however, even for a beginner, this book is too simple and too general.

This is a waste of paper. It could have just as easily been an individual booklet. The majority of the book pertains to the day of the month each person is born. Sorry I purchased it!

I am interested in Numerology and have read a good many books on it. Miss Ducie's offering, one in what is developing to be quite long line of fine works by her on this subject, is attractively packaged and expressed and does, to my mind, encourage one to pick up the subject and to look further. This is validation enough and for those for whom the script is too simple, or subject matter too vague - see earlier reviews - other books exist to take up deeper concerns and to provide Miss Ducie's growing readership with a 'next stage'. This is a book that both reveals and fascinates and it could connect to a wide market and, hopefully, inspire some to take up the subject.

Why is it that we need to find meaning in things that have no meaning?

If we want to call '7' our lucky number and use that to influence how we choose lottery tickets, then that is harmless, but when we start ascribing meaning to, for example, the arbitrary dates of arbitrary months in an arbitrary counting base, then we making a serious mistake.

There is no coherent justification of any of the ideas in this book; it should be classed under ficyion - and it would at least then be honest.
