Review
"Eva comes from a proud and strong lineage of feng-shui masters, and she has written a book that is in a class of its own. This is the definitive textbook for all genuine feng-shui enthusiasts. It is almost like a how-to manual, successfully condensing authentic feng-shui theories into useful, applicable concepts, with do-it-yourself feng-shui projects. Read this book. Then read it again. And again. You will find a new nugget of information each time. Congratulations to Eva on a book well written."—Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai

Have to Disagree with Elisa "ElyMom76" Below...
You should have bought an interior design book instead. Feng-shui is a very serious subject matter, where I can confidently say that 99% of the so-called Feng Shui partitioners ("Masters", lol) don't even know what they are talking about. Do you seriously think, an arbitrary re-arrangement of furnitures, without further support theories on why and how it would help or otherwise, will improve your life and your living space? A good feng shui master/book should be able to accurately predict the PAST as well as the FUTURE, based on the calculations. Test those books that you may have otherwise bought to see if they do the above. Eva Wong's book, while incomplete in some aspect, is among the best non-chinese feng-shui books, and I've read a lot of them and verified the effectiveness against real life incidences. Maybe watching HGTV a better idea if real Feng-Shui sounds complicated for you, at least the experts there do provide visible and eye-pleasing results.

Good
There are not many good books on classical feng shui in the market. This is one of them. This book is very detailed and informative. Feng Shui is a very sophisticated art and many books out there either over-simplify the subject or the just do not have a clue. However it can get a little dry sometimes but if you are serious enthusiast, this is a minor problem. Eva Wong should write more books.

Finally!
Finally, someone has decided pull the veil off of feng shui and make its "secrets" available to all of us. This book is an invaluable tool to architects, designers, and other building professionals who wish to incorporate the principles of feng shui into their new construction or remodel projects.

After two books that promised much and delivered little (leaving me very frustrated), I can't say it enough:

Thank you Eva!
