This is a cute little mini book. I feel like it would be good to have in your handbag and pull out while have a drink with the girls for a bit of fun.

Really liked this book! However, I'd like it more if there were more pictures for each description.

It has lots of info for such a small book, it's beginner's friendly and simple. But despite that it doesn't really go in depth, so if you want to learn more I think you'll have to search more books about this subject. All in all, quite a good and helpful book.

Very small and cute book.
Great for beginers and for those who just want to know about palm reading.
However, the lack of pictures makes it hard to understand sometimes.

a super quick read! although i’m critical as when i was assessing my own palm, there were more than a few descriptions that contradicts each other.
it was interesting though! but nothing spectacular. wished there was more image references as the whole idea of palmistry is to look at the palms! so with the little images provided in the book, maybe i haven’t been diagnosing my palm the right way and hence the contradictions? 😅
3/5 ⭐️

I love to count tiny books to my reading challenge. This did everything it said it would, but I just didn't find it interesting enough to hold my attention-- despite being small enough to literally fit in my palm. 3/5.

A small book I picked up somewhere and finally got around to reading. It is chock full of interesting perspectives on, not only palm reading, but also hand, fingers, fingerprints, left and right-handedness. A fun flip through.

This book is tiny. Literally. It will fit in the palm of your hand. It's fun, though. Excellent for after-dinner conversations.

I bought this little charmer of a book because it looked super cute. Whether I believe on any of what is written inside is something I may or may not reconcile with in the future. What I appreciate about books of this nature is how the writer makes everything unspecific, come across as very specific to the reader. Almost personal and tailor fit.That takes some practice. Anyone can learn this and a great majority of us has encountered this type of writing in online personality tests and the like. I love the contents, if they are baseless and pseudoscience-ish then as a reader of fiction, I am still a fan. The illustrations inside are also wonderfully drawn and add so much to the appeal of this book.

Good conversation starter.

This is an excellent pocket book about palm reading. The information is clear and easy to understand. Due to the size of the book, it is only able to cover the basics of palm reading. However, the size is actually the most positive of the book. For creating conversations it is amazing. Leave it on your living room table when you have people visiting or place it next to your laptop while at an internet cafe and see what happens.

If you have read the book through, then applying the knowledge to start a conversation is great.

However, if you are looking for in-depth information on palm reading, then this book is not for you as it is too small. That said, the book can be used as a cheat book to quickly look up some of the meanings of the lines on your hands as it can be easily carried on you.
