1.0 out of 5 stars So disappointed, March 12, 2008

By	A. New (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was so disappointed in this book! It is the most poorly written book I have ever read, which turned me off from the beginning. It doesn't give the reader confidence in the practitioner if he is unable to clearly express his ideas. Of its short 44 pages of information- not including bibliography and so on- 12 pages(more than a quarter of the book!) were focused on anesthesia acupuncture. While that's interesting in its own right, I didn't buy this book to learn about anesthetic properties of acupuncture. Of the less than 20 pages dedicated to the actual practice of facial acupuncture, the information was fairly useful. But I was so irritated with the content and writing by then that I barely cared how good Dr. Adkins' information was. I sadly found this book a waste of money.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a miracle book!, April 18, 2007

By	Park Yongjun "tachysys21" (Korea) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I consider myself very fortunate to have read this book..As a member of KOMD(Korea Orient Medicine Doctor)I read and learned many books related with acupuncture skills. But this book is the best . This book presents very elegant patterns of treatment based upon a profound ancient text combined with decades of clinical expertise, reflection and refinement. The nature of facial rejubanating acupuncture and the treatments discussed is such that it may take effect within few days..I was endebted to this author Paul Adkins for sharing that acu-skills and enriching proud tradition...

Very simple, useful, and well-dieted book!!
To learn the facial enhancement acupuncture, read this book at least three
times.
