REVIEW #1
Worth more than money, January 3, 2000
Reviewer: Jeri from Chicago
Those who are cranky about the lack of technical astrology in White's books
should keep in mind that a reading is only as good as the interpreter! White
obviously knows people and personalities, and her opinion is what I paid the
money for. If you want a manual, for heaven's sake, by a darned manual.
But if you want a ready and accurate reference to your personal astrological
tendencies or someone else's, this is a very worthwhile and absorbing volume.
I have her "New Astrology" book and like it, but this book gives more
detailed descriptions, and her intuition is uncanny. If you want to be clued
in to what you've been up to all your life, buy this book. She described me,
my husband and our marriage gratifyingly, and I re-read it time to time for a
refresher. Suzanne is a unique and fabulous talent.
REVIEW #2
Could be better, October 10, 1997
Reviewer: aphi@pri.org from Mpls, MN
This book is fine if you're only looking for fun, fluffy info. If you are a
dedicated follower of Chinese astrology, you'd be better off not taking this
book too seriously (or maybe not reading it at all). There are countless
errors in interpretation, and the author would do well to concentrate on more
research the next time around, and less on trite generalizations based on her
personal experiences. Other books I would recommend from Amazon instead of
this one: any of the Theodora Lau books, and definitely the Taoist Astrology
ones.
REVIEW #3
My favorite, May 30, 2001
Reviewer: luij from Germany
One reviewer writes: "If you want a real book on Chinese Horoscopes, check
something else out." I did. In fact I checked out about 20 other books on
Chinese Astrology and none of them are as good as this book. Although I have
a couple which are more detailed with charts and so on and are better for
understanding the technical aspects on Chinese Astrology.
This book concentrates more on the character description of the twelve animal
signs. Suzanne White has a very personal way of describing the characters,
but that makes it easier to identify to it. Ofcourse you could describe the
signs very unpersonal, like a fortune cookie is written, but then again she
calls her book the NEW Chinese Astrology which already indicates that it is
somehow different than other books. I find the personal way of describing the
characters actually more helpful. You realize this more over the years. But
despite of that, this book is very accurate and Suzanne White really knows
Chinese Astrology. I also highly recommend Suzanne White? book "The New
Astrology" which combines Eastern and Western Astrology.

CHINESE ASTROLOGY FAVORITE, February 3, 2000
Reviewer: TOMEKA CARR from BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
I DEEPLY APPRECIATED THIS BOOK. I WAS VERY AMAZED AT THE ACCURACY WITH WHICH
MS.WHITE ASSOCIATES HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS WITH EACH OF THE ANIMAL SIGNS IN
THE CHINESE ZODIAC. SHE EXPLAINS THE INNER DEPTHS OF THE HUMAN CHARACTERISTIC
WITH ACCURACY AND PRECISION. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT MS.WHITE IS A TRUE
STUDENT OF ANCIENT ASTROLOGY. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING
TO UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES AND THE ACTIONS OF LOVED ONES AND ENEMIES. GO OUT
AND BUY IT TODAY!
REVIEW #5
Ms. White's unique viewpoint is extremely helpful, July 5, 1998
Reviewer: A reader from Sarasota, Fl formerly from Los Angeles and San
Francisco with occasional side trips to UK
Wish to respond to reviewer from Minnesota who criticizes Ms. White's writing
- I haven't read current text, but have read Ms. White's original "Book of
Chinese Chance" - in fact I keep going back to it almost every week and
reread passages of it as I meet people who manifest certain idosyncrasies
that appear puzzling to me - she is extremely accurate in assessing
personality characteristics of Chinese years with zodiac sign - and found her
personal anecdotal style very appropriate to seeing how personality traits of
given combination manifest themselves in real life situations - by the way,
so much so, that frequently it's almost uncanny and has made me be open to
the possibility that the Chinese have known a lot more about human nature
than most Western philosophers and for a lot longer -- also, her approach,
which is to make such concepts relevant to a wide audience, makes one a
believer (if not already) in a greater order and design to the universe then
comes from the mind of man, alone.
From - A skeptical attorney Virgo/Pig, married to a Chinese Leo/Ox who also
has learned to understand her Virgo/rat daughter (as well as her husband) a
great deal better after studying Ms. White's book. Test it yourself, for
example, if you've ever known someone at work who would step on their own
mother's back to get promoted, etc. (or the mother who asks "Did you hurt
yourself sonny, when he trips?"), check their birthdate out with White's
Chinese/zodiac sign. You might learn something and have some fun along the
way! Glad to see that Ms. White is still writing - I haven't looked for
anything else she's written since being given the Book of Chinese Chance by a
cousin of mine who had highlighted all the things in Ms. White's "Pig"
description he thought was talking about me.

It's really interesting to combine the western and chinese astrology together in order to make a more accurate prediction.
