Review: When I first read this book I was just learning the ropes of feng shui and found Lillian Too's format easy to read and an intriguing introduction, but I was left to decipher a flood of questions and a whole bunch of conflicting facts. Now that I've grown to understand and apply traditional feng shui, and since I've been formally studying the science of feng shui for two years, I finally understand the hows and whys behind many of Too's mysterious tips. My criticism with this book is that it contains some all-out errors (one example: the location of the five yellows in 2002) and lightly throws out some "advanced" tips without explaining the reasons behind them at all. The eager beginner will take these tips as facts and will apply them in his or her own home -- even the erroneous and conflicting ones. Too mixes several different types of feng shui practices in her tips. The beginner may hear terms like "compass school," "form school," and "flying star," and won't be able to separate them. This will undoubtedly be confusing and will lead to a poorly applied mix of the theories. My advice is to find a book that explains the differences and learn them one by one at a slow pace. Come back to this one later with a broader perspective and a better understanding.
