Interior Design With Feng Shui

Summary: The Bible of Feng Shui
Review: This should be considered the first and foremost guide to Feng Shui. With a metaphysical/new age trend running rampant, people interested in mixing eastern culture and spirituality with our impatient and wasteful western world, need this book before any other.

Summary: Interesting but not complete
Review: This was an insightful book in some ways but very incomplete. Sarah gave good information about the Feng Shui philosophy but when trying to include the depths of various conections she falls short. For example,in the appendixes under explaining palmistry, she mentions that "if you have a scar above the nose and between the eyes, this indicates death, accident, or illness at age forty." I find this an extremely irresponsible thing to say. She never explains further nor says what to do if you happen to have such a scar. Both my husband and I have such a scar. We have 3 small children and turn 40 in the year 2000. Should we up-date our will or should we perform some sort of ritual for protection? I'm very upset at her nonchalance of such a statement.

Summary: a tease without completeness
Review: This was my fourth feng shui book and I am somewhat disappointed. It started out well, with great intentions but never quite finished. There were stories repeated and the really important parts not completely explained. The cures were given for specific examples, but nothing was given as suggestions to figure out how to determine if you have the problems. I feel unsatisfied, although I will probably use some of the suggestions. Also, the 'second' part of the book was supposed to be devoted to a greater understanding of the mysticism behind feng shui and it was all just a little snippet of a much bigger realm. A bunch of religious babble and not enough explanation. Probably a tactic to buy more of her books. No thanks. I much prefer the Kwan Lau book, Feng Shui for Today or Terah Collins' approach.
