5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Exciting, Easy and Accurate way to tell fortunes!!!, September 12, 1999

By A Customer

Like most Americans, Im a coffee addict and cant start my morning without a nice cup of good coffee. This book caught my eye ,because of my love of java, and boy, is it neat (as are Sophia's other books!!!) Now I can spend my coffeebreaks checking out how the rest of my day is going to go! The system is very simple (if you can daydream, you can tell fortunes with coffee grounds) and anyone can do it. I and a bunch of coworkers at the office sit around at breaks and do eachother's fortunes- and I take it to coffee shops and am instantly popular! Everyone want's to try it! Why sit and gossip at Starbucks when you can tell fortunes?- Ive met some great people that way! A fun party book, cheer-a-friend up book or thank you gift- very highly recommended- and it fits in your purse!!! Love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars pretty good, July 11, 1999

By A Customer

for those interested in reading coffee grounds, this book is a pretty good beginner. it has a "dictionary" of symbols that one finds in the coffee grounds, it gives a brief biography of the author and tells you how to open yourself to this form of divination....

1.0 out of 5 stars changed my mind, July 22, 2003

By	"truthandjustice" (USA) - See all my reviews

I read in the Bible that this is wrong. So I threw away the book. Please take my review off as it is not my intention to cause problems for author.
