In the past few years, many books have come on the market about Feng Shui. Unfortunately, the majority of these books ignore, or even mock the traditional Feng Shui teachings. What Dr. Twicken has done here is to present the basics of the traditional Taoist method in an easy to follow form, making it ideal for either a beginner, or someone who has knowledge of the more popular methods and wants to begin learning Flying Star Feng Shui. I do want to clearly state that this book is about basics. There is a lot more to know if you want to become a professional in the field, but your foundation will be firm after studying this manual. With this book, you will be able to construct and correctly analyze a Flying Star chart. You will also be well prepared for learning the advanced teachings which are becoming more and more available in languages other than Chinese.

I am a reader with a decent knowledge of basic feng shui principles. I bought this volume as an introduction to the flying star school. The title is misleading. While this book may have information not easily available, it is definitely NOT Flying Star made easy! The book feels somehow like it is missing huge chunks of necessary information in order to use the charts and methods described, as well as little foresight as the charts are all pre-2008. If you are looking to make flying star feng shui easy - look elsewhere. If you already have a good grasp, then this book likely has information not easily attained elsewhere.

I felt compelled to add this review after seeing the book get five stars and one star and no review really providing a fair summary. This book is fairly advanced and has alot of great information in it and as someone states elsewhere is the only place where you can find information on the water placement that is in english. But this book is brief on explanations. Without some prior background readers will have a tough time figuring it out. But if you first read a book which provides a sound basis in nine flying star such as eva wong's book "a master's course in feng shui", or lillian too's book "nine flying star feng shui", or the complete idiot's guide, then you can read this book and put it to good use.

This book is an ultimate manual for flying star feng shui practitioners. It is concise and explains only things necessary for practicing flying star feng shui. I am always carrying this book whenever I visit my clients. I am definitely recommending this excellent manual to every flying star practioner.

Finally a book on classical Feng Shui that includes advance knowledge, in addition to a comphrehensive Flying Stars system, this is the only book I have seen that includes the following classic Water Dragon methods:

Ling Shen
Zhao Shen
He Tu Castle Gate
Castle Gate
Water and Mountain Fan Gua
Fan Gua Five Ghosts Carry Money
Peach Blossom

Save yourself hundreds or thousands of dollars attending workshops to get some of this information; for $14.95 it is the bargain of the century.

Thank you Mr. Twicken for revealing this important Feng Shui knowledge, I have studied with people for years and never got this information.

No history, no explanation, miniscule background, and there are some truly glaring errors. Must have been written from notes, which explains the jumpy editing and the problems with some of the calculations and theories. There are better sources for Xuan Kong calculations than this book (try Eva Wong or "Complete Idiot's Guide") and they don't mess up their math.

The best book on "traditional" Flying Stars Feng Shui. After reading this book it is clear traditional feng shui is different than the other styles that are predominant in the market.

This book presents the entire foundation of Flying Stars with complete charts for all cycles and 24 mountains and special prosperity charts. I feel now I have learned authentic traditional feng shui, I even emailed the author with a few questions and he resonded with detailed answers the same day!

Among over 300 books in the market on feng shui, this is a gem, simply the best on Tradional Flying Stars Feng Shui! If you are looking for a quick feng shui fix, this book is not for you. If you are serious about learning the most popular form of feng shui practioned in asia, this book is a must.

Thanks Mr. Twicken for revealing this ancient and powerful form of Feng Shui!

This is some strange stuff; nothing practical here. If you are into the esoterica of Feng Shui and know all the mumbo-jumbo, go for it. If you want a practical introduction, or guide to applying Feng Shui, pick something else.

Having read more than 3 dozen books on Feng Shui as well as having studied under more than one International Master,I would rate this treatise at the top of the heap of 325 odd titles available.For the beginner Lillian Too's Essential Feng Shui is a must,but for the advanced/serious student you will NOT find any work at least in English which even gets close to this.For that you would have to spend a couple of hundred dollars and do a so called online course.For the first time it is not two stars but three that you are taught to work with.Also a novel first is analysing your personal trigram with the flying stars of your house to find out how your property suits you and your family. Don't think twice---This is the finest book on the market.Buy it and read it over and over and over.Believe me it gets better and better with every read as you develop new insights.

This is undoubtedly the clearest and most comprehensive book on Flying Star feng shui currently on the market. The book has no colored illustrations, or fancy production. It just gets down to explaining (with very clear tables) how to do Flying Star feng shui. Flying Star feng shui is the most popular and one of the most powerful techniques used by Chinese professional feng shui masters in Hong Kong, but has only been available in the West since about 1995. This book is written by an author who thinks like a Chinese, but explains like a Westerner. If you were only allowed to buy just 5 books on feng shui out of the 325 currently listed, then this would have to be one of them. Buy it, persevere with it, and use it.
