5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Feng Shui Book, August 18, 2001

By

This review is from: Feng Shui in 10 Simple Lessons (Paperback)

This is a really good book on feng shui, especially if you are new to feng shui or just want a simple, basic book. The best part of this book is the very detailed charts,graphics and pictures, since they don't leave you confused like some poorly drawn diagrams might. The language is simple and easy to read.

The book is divided into 10 easy lessons, although there is no need to go in the order of the book. Each of the 10 chapters ends in a Top Ten Questions section about the chapter. The book also touches on some things many other books neglect, such as gardening, how to do feng shui around other people, your workplace, major life changes and even talks about what to look for when you are looking for a new home. There is also a space clearing procedure included.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first Feng Shui book, January 8, 2001

This review is from: Feng Shui in 10 Simple Lessons (Paperback)

I received this book as a Christmas present and found it quite interesting, since this is the first time I'm reading about Feng Shui. The drawings, illustrations, and photographs found on practically every page are very well done.

Each 'lesson'/chapter is pretty short (less than 20 pages), and the summary questions at the end of each section are also a good idea.

The writing style is very clear and easy to understand.

The list of books in the 'further reading' is also interesting for a reader that would want to dig deeper into this subject.
