Format:Hardcover
I love this book! I was introduced to it via a friend and was immediatly captivated and bought my own copy. It's a modern very practical guide to using ideas from all over the world to make your home healthy and happy. The author is very knowledgeable on a range of different elements such as colour, aromatherapy, feng shui, energy channels etc. and helps us see all sorts of ways to use them in our home. She's very practical, recognising that each home will need different solutions for budget reasons or whatever and a range of advice is given. The text is interspersed with snippets of wisdom from all over the world which makes the text come alive, such as how Chinese people use a moon gate or special passageway into a special place. Suggestions are made to interpret that at home. Most of all I like the author's theme that runs throughout the text that everything in the world has it's own vibrational energy. This theory is gaining recognition through out the world and will gradually become widely accepted. Having said that, it's not an eccentric book that will only appeal to a narrow group of people. Reasons are given for each theory and they make perfect sense. It's presented beautifully, it has beautiful photographs, and the text is bordered in light colours with points from the text highlighted making it a book you can either dip into quickly or tuck up with for a good read. Or in my case, both!

Format:Paperback
This book is indescribably awful and I am sorry I bought it, even it was only 65p on marketplace. The author is a new age hippy-dippy who believes in everything, and I mean EVERYTHING wackadoodle under the sun: crystals, vibrations, ghosts, shamanism, feng shui, dowsing, bad vibes (man...), auras, etheric bodies and every other bit of unscientific charlatanry you can imagine. The word 'vibrations' occurs on every single page, along with recommendations for getting rid of bad vibes from your house by clapping your hands, etc (and really, dahling - it ISN'T actually possible to stop your house from being burgled by surrounding it with a mystical circle of light: a decent set of locks or an alarm is a better investment). The text rambles between the bleedin' obvious (you should change your calendar each year, blue is a cold colour) to the whimsically nonsensical ('charge' your crystal with the messages you want to receive from the spirit world' and other such rubbish.) I am gutted, as I have ordered two books from this author on the strength of good Amazon reviews and I now feel I have been gulled. I would pass this book on, except that it is SO bad I wouldn't want to promulgate the idiocy of its contents. There are a few nice pictures so if someone buys it for you, enjoy those and skip the text. I would give it no stars if that were possible.
Listmania!
