3.0 out of 5 stars Great Results, however..., June 14, 2003

This review is from: Facebuilder for Men (Mass Market Paperback)

This book works!! I am so happy when I look in the mirror to see what this has done for me. It has toned and tightened my face. I'm young, but didn't have that muscle toned face I wanted. So it's great, the whole book.

However, only 5% of the book is useful; the exercises.
The remaining 95% is just full of annoying repeative (really, she repeats the same thing in different form in every chapter) And it really does go on, and on, and on, and on. She keeps mentioning why its great you bought the book and how every thing bad will change once you do the exercises. The health and diet section is really stock information. I guess she had to pad it out with content to make it thicker than a magazine.

All in all, buy it. It works, and even though she has her annoying parts (like talking to you like a boyscout: "Now boys, listen to me,...." and tends to babble on, the exercises are amazing!! If you thought you couldn't get a sculpted face, think again!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This program is great!!, July 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Facebuilder for Men (Mass Market Paperback)

I work out regularly and am on a fairly strict diet. Like many men who like to have that lean and ripped physique, we get a gaunt and unhealthy looking face do to the lack of body fat. I began the Facebuilder program as an extention to my normal workout routine. It has been two weeks now and I have had many comments on how much healther I look. I also took pictures of my face before I started Facebuilder For Men. Exactly two weeks later I took more pictures to compare the results, and the difference is astounding! I showed them to a personal trainer / nutritionist and they were absolutely amazed! They were so impresed they are going to recommend it to there client's! This book can help any man to improve his face quickly and easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars SEEING IS BELIEVING, July 13, 2003

This review is from: Facebuilder for Men (Mass Market Paperback)

My wife bought this book for me about six weeks ago. She does face exercises and I know they work, but I never thought about doing them myself. However, after her proding me for a week or two, I started, under protest, to keep peace in the family. All I can say now is WOW. If I didn't see it myself, I wouldn't have believed it. I had my wife take a picture of me before I started to see if I could notice the changes and now, six weeks later, I'm really amazed at the difference. Much stronger jawline, more sculpted cheekbones - just a great change for me.
The book is easy reading, well written, and entertaining. But the real benefit here is the exercise regimen laid down by the authors. I couldn't be more pleased - and surprised, at the results. This book is a keeper.
