Luck: The Essential Guide Reviews

  • Craigers

    Stay away from this book! Unless you like having OCD. I had to put it down because it tells you what is lucky, why it is lucky, and how to use it. Pretty soon you'll be clipping you toe nails on Tuesdays while wearing your underware inside out and pouring wine with your right had and passing it clockwise around the table. That doesn't sound like living to me and that is why the book has been donated to the Chicago River.

  • Kara Kilgore

    Fun & interesting!

    The Magpie Rhyme:

    One for sorrow. Two for mirth. Three for a wedding. Four for a birth. Five for silver. Six for gold. Seven for a story never to be told.

    2.5 stars rounded up.
    I have a decent number of books about superstitions, luck, etc. but missed this one until I read an article about author Kevin Kwan (author of "Crazy Rich Asians") in which this earlier book of his was mentioned.
    This volume is very attractive and creative and delivers what it promises. (Love the "Knock here" wooden cover!) But it's also a LOT of information and it times it reads rather dry, especially when it veers into simple "This is lucky / this is not lucky" territory. I would've liked more detailed background on the history of some of the items.
    I think this is good for a cute coffee table book for visitors to page through. My favorite parts were easily the travel and food chapters!

    I didn't have goodreads in 2020.
    I read this for the A-Z Reading Challenge.
    DECEMBER – A book by a new-to-you author
    I read the authors whole backlog, even though one book was required.

  • Jasmine Baker

    Good coffee table book.

  • Lisa

    I love this book for its beauty inside and out. Every shelf needs this.

  • Linda

    Interesting enough, but unless you want to know details about lucky rabbit feet and Buddahs, skip it.

  • Samantha

    DNF — It’s got a lot of interesting information, but I got bored.

  • Ashlie

    This is a fun little coffee table book with tidbits about what brings luck. I picked it up last month while shopping at Anthropologie for gifts.

  • Jessica

    Very interesting and arranged in a very organized way, making it easy to examine the different aspects of "luck".
