5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on Chinese Astrology, September 9, 2007

By	L. Pheng "Bookworm" (Malaysia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am an avid student of all forms of Chinese Astrology. I picked up The Destiny Code a month ago and I must say that it is by far one of the best books on Chinese Astrology I have ever read.

It is easy to read and takes you through the science of the Four Pillars of Destiny step by step. I love the case studies that are peppered throughout the book. Many of the books out there are either too simplistic or just plain confusing. The Destiny Code on the hand is easy to follow, the content is comprehensive and well planned. Although his tone is conversational and easy-going, it is a serious book designed to educate you properly in the complexities BaZi Chinese Astrology.

My favourite chapter is Chapter 9- Prince Charming and Ms Right- All About Romance. Joey's perspective on love & relationships and your destiny was very insightful.

I cannot wait to pick up the second book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Insightful, September 23, 2007

By	W. L. Chan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book cleared my questions on many things relating to BaZi. Before I was quite confused. I have read a few books before on the subject, but found their approach the Chinese Astrology a little shallow. Some were downright confusing.

This is a good read. It is very thorough.
