Facinating, Well-writtem, Acurate and Entertaining

I loved this book and spent a week with my nose in it taking notes. It has changed the way I see people and interact with them.

It has helped me have patience with people who's traits and styles differ than mine (since I can see in their faces how they differ), and it has given me a language and understanding for the wide soul choice of human beauty. Previously I would often look at people's features, their ears, nose, and eyes, feel that they indicated something specific about their personality, but not be able to read it. Rosetree's book has taught me literacy of the face.

Based on the face reading I have done, I have not found a single fact of hers incorrect. Plus the book is easy to read and informally written, as if you were sitting in a classroom or session with her.

My only complaint is I wanted more! I recently had the chance to order her Wrinkles are God's Make-up and have excitedly begun to study it.

Good information for living in the real world

Author is dead-on accurate, as I have tested her stuff on many faces already. Worth the read, even though the book is long-winded. She could have given the necessary information in half as many pages. I also think there is more info out there that she could have included in the book. For example, regarding teeth, she only talks about the two front teeth & the canines. She fails to cover the meaning of crooked vs. straight teeth. (I have been told that crooked bottom teeth means that a person has trouble making decisions.)

Very informative

I ordered three face reading books to try to get as much information as I could. This book by far was the best. She adds a bunch of humor. This book is very well written and easy to read. I recommend this to all who are curious about what the face means. I am very pleased.

Useful and Insightful

After reading The Power of Face Reading, I am shocked by the response from "Almost Useless". In her book Rosetree asserts that we all have various challenges as well as styles with which we excell at, and I think Rosetree does an excellent job of expressing our different styles for work, spending money, communication, etc. with great compassion and depth. This is not a "too positive spin on every negative interpretation"; it's more a realistic way of looking at our strenghts and weaknesses.

I also firmly disagree with "Almost Useless"'s assertion that some of the interpretations are "just inaccurate." I have done many readings after reading the book, for friends and people that I've just met, and everyone remarks how surprisingly accurate they are! Rosetree also points out that the traits of our face reveal our propensity for a certain style of being. We are all human and can choose to behave in other ways as we choose. Knowing what are preferences are can help us use them with more strength, and to also gain understanding for the strengths and propensities of others. Brilliant for relationships!

In terms of "putting it all together" for doing face readings, I found this to be no problem. Like I said, I started doing readings for friends and new people I met right away. Rosetree also explicity states to set an intention to be of service, and begin with the features that strike you the most, and then notice what you notice next and go from there. This is what I've adhered to and what has made my readings so successful.

Lastly, I would be cautious with the review titled "Gems for Tabliod and Intellectuals." I might chuckle at these having not read the book. Rosetree's book provides much more depth than these quotes reveal. The book shows us that there are many ways to be in the world, and the beauty is that we can choose. I find it powerfully useful to know my style preferences at my very core.

The best of the best!

I know this book. I know this author. Rose Rosetree is a woman of the highest integrity and she is a great force. She's been on this path for many years, researching ancient studies and particularly refining the hidden traits found in faces. Each one of her books is a gift. But the wisdom contained in this one, The Power of Face Reading, showers the reader with clues and tips on discovering the very essence of, say, co-workers, first dates, celebrities, politicians -- any person with whom you might come face to face. For those with a sense of wonder and a hunger to know more, this is an easy read.
