I got this book a week ago and I must say - this is a very good book.
This book is a little bit different than other palmistry books and I am very happy - so happy that I cannot stop reading it all.
THe book does not lay emphasis on mounts and shapes of the hands - which was confusing to me in the first place.
It looks at palmistry at a modern level - simple enough to understand.
The chapters are named as Hour One to Hour 24.
There are easy to understand terminologies for fingers - instead of Jupiter its 'mirror' finger and so on.
Very interesting book.
This is my first read of Johnny Fincham and I am already a huge fan of him.

However, this book has not been proofread properly.
There are grammatical mistakes that are very obvious - spelling and notation.
In some places, when they show two hands (pictures) - and ask us a question - the answer points at the wrong picture.
(Naomi and Amber's question on Pg 107-108)

I loved this book. I've ploughed through so many palmistry books and they're such hard work - an endless list of stars and squiggles and mounts and stuff to remember. This one is radically different. It gets you straight to the actual art of reading hands with totally new labels for everything based on the language of psychology. It really works. I gave my girlfriends brother a reading after working through this book and it totally blew him away! I'd recommend this to anyone interested in palmistry.

If you've read other books or studied hand analysis it might be a bit confusing for you trying to put something different in your head after learning another way. Not bad, just confusing.

Renaming the fingers made sense as the old name are just that, old. And a bit too woo woo for many. I've seen eyes glaze over when the old names were used.

A different way to look at things in a refreshing manner.

It doesn't matter whether you are a beginner, a curios, a PUA or professional. This book gives an excellent idea of what palm reading is all about. The most important aspect of this book is it's no-nonsense approach, avoiding the Victorian mysticism and mumbo-jumbo nonsense that has plagued this topic for the last few hundred years, leaving you with a purified extract of what it all means. As such, I enjoyed every chapter and every minute with this book and it was directly applicable. As a scientist also in genetics and inherited traits, this book help open new paths to a still quite uncharted territory, at least scientifically.

The only downside are some grammatical errors and some erroneous/confusing titles/captions on some of the included photos. An updated edition, with improved quality photos would work wonders. Some more references could also prove useful.

I did enjoy this book. He gives a common sense method to reading hands and helps you break it down into ez to digest bites. He renames the fingers (does not use the traditional Jupiter, Saturn etc.), which takes about three minutes to get used to. I could see why he did it.

He does give good advice on how to tell if fingers are really longer etc.

Use this book with Richard Unger and Ronelle Coburn's books and you will be well on your way!

This was not as I had hoped. Graphics and text not in the modern day state. Talked more about why it wasn't going to cover certain topics that are usually covered in palm reading books. It sounded confusing and boasted half explanations of things. I was not at all impressed and wished I hadn't purchased it.

I have read a lot of books on this topic, and this book was great. Simplified some very difficult concepts and was a lot of fun to read!
I highly recommend it!

This book is well written, clear and concise. It contains a wealth of information but doesn't get lost down the rabbit holes of detail. It's organized and each chapter's information is based on the previous. Heed this author's advice however in taking a measured pace. There is so much you can miss if you rush through this book. In fact, I've had it for a couple months now and have not yet finished it, so eager am I to understand the significance of the multi-faceted approach. It's just plain awesome.

I love this palmistry book. Johnny has an engaging, lucid and original way of writing that really hooks you in. As a professional palmist I recommend this book to all my beginners as it uses modern English explanations e.g. Mirror finger instead of Jupiter finger. The only thing I would mention is that Johnny's terminology is different to traditional palmistry so this can be a little confusing if you have already read a few palmistry books. Nevertheless this is a really fresh take on the whole art of palmistry.

Although I was missing the first chapter of the book, I was overall happy with my purchase. I was impressed with the easy to understand layout of this book and the helpful pictures.
