I find reading this book that the accuracy of the Chinese face reading is so dead on it's unbelievable. Amazing! The book is extremely helpful and easy to make me understand people better without them knowing that I am trying to do so. Also the chronology of the book is quite methodical, making it a fun and easy read compared to the other Joey books. However I wished there was an index at the back for quick reference to particular topics I was looking for.

This has been by far one of the most interesting books/subjects I've ever come across. There's so much you can tell about a person's inner characteristics simply from one's facial features - and it's been very accurate so far I must say. Easy to understand, fun to read... anyone can pick this up in minutes! besides... it's been a great ice breaker for me too. highly recommended!!!

I found this to be a very harsh, black and white method of face reading. I was very interested to learn about the origins of Face Reading, and because it is a fundamentally Chinese art form, was keen to read this version. However, it is based, understandably on the reading of Asian faces, and the illustrations are reflected by this. Perhaps this is where things began to go off course for me. There were some parts that were completely wrong for me, for example, the qualities that should be apparent on my ears that would reflect a difficult childhood. Mine should be quite hard, and looking damaged according to this system, but someone reading me would believe that mine had been idyllic. They also stick out which would make me a difficult child to raise, but I was very quiet and obedient, and also very thoughtful (or so everybody told me). The sharp definition of my nostrils would also have them believe that I'd had an easy time during my 49th and 50th years. Unfortunately also way off the mark. The more subtle feature differences in the Asian faces represented here, perhaps made it more difficult for me to discern some of the indicators that I was searching for, or perhaps it was that the diagrams are a little bit difficult to find the detail in that I was hoping for. You won't find any Gallic noses or Celtic comlexions in this book, and if your self esteem is a bit dented, think twice before you begin to read. You might consider yourself to be honest at the very least, but if your nose is bumpy and bony, and your lips are thin, you're probably lying to yourself!

This book is really fun and easy to read. One of my favorite books by far. It carries so much truth in it that I can just relate to straight away. Yes, it has changed how I `look' at others as I tend to observe the facial features of people that I deal with on a daily basis - but I have to say it has brought about some good and rewarding changes. For example, did you know that people with bigger eyes are more sincere and more expressive, while those with smaller eyes tend to have more secrets as they keep things inside of them? You'll find a lot more of these interesting pointers in this book.

This is so much fun! Ever since I started reading it, I have been trying it out at work.

This subject is new to me. I usually buy a bunch of books and everytime I decide to pick up something new. This was by far the best. The design is beautiful, the descriptions are clear and the explaination of the techniques are really good. And unlike many books, they actually go into some detail into the hows and whys. I never knew Face Reading is so deep! And to see the connection between other forms of traditional Chinese practices, it is quite astounding.

The author did a really good job. Keep up the good work!

I have read quite a few books on Face Reading but nothing comes close to this level of detail and practical usability. Joey explains it so well and the illustrations are really good. The book well organized. It is not an easy subject but Joey makes it so easy to understand without making it so simple that it loses its power.

I have used what I learnt already. It really helps me in my day to day life as I deal with so many people. Joey's techniques are so practical.

I have all of Joey's books! So far, I have never been disappointed with any of his works. I look forward to the next installment of Face Reading!

This is the first time I picked up a book on Chinese face reading. I was very impressed. It is well written and easy to follow. There is a system to understand and apply this art and the author does a good job of explaining this.

I have read a few books on face reading from the States but so far, nothing comes close to this. The illustrations are also very well done.

The 100 Year map is amazing! I thought that was one of the most impressive things I learnt in this book. I cannot wait for book two.

this is a good book, it has a lot of interesting data if you are in the subject. it's a very good read. it doesn't have everything, but again, no book does. it has a nice chapter about moles, images are big and clear. most of the book is about the 100 year map and how moles and lines and stuff has this or that meaning. It's not about people and recognizing them within the 5 elements, that topic is not important in this book. very nice. i recommend it.
