Because you dig on Danielle, I know you'll know what I mean when I say so *wink*<br /><br />oudler- Thank you for coming by! I hope you'll check back on some of my less volatile topics :)<br /><br />Tony- I too love hearing other readers' style, and that is what I feel the main value of this book is, as a glimpse into her world, and I have learned from it, so it is valuable.<br /><br />Thank YOU, Online Psychic Readings, for the reminder of how important rapport is.<br /><br />Helen, it's always a joy to see you here! I am not selective at all of what I read in tarot, but I am selective about what I take in and ingest into my tarot world. I understand what you are saying, though!<br /><br />Marina, haha! And thank you! I am usually quite loquacious, but I wanted to keep the review balanced, so I tried to keep my positive/negative ratio in mind. This book is a good window into how one woman reads, although in the book she presents the client readings as actual things that happened, but in the thread about the book on Aeclectic Tarot revealed they are more conglomerations, which I take to mean "fiction", so you would have to decide for yourself if that is valuable to you, or not. I'd send you the book, but who knows when you'd get it. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09502811012649776468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417527629484206693.post-60740546823743686492011-10-18T05:08:41.736-06:002011-10-18T05:08:41.736-06:00Manda, I too never heard of this author!

My problem with some memoirs/recollections/examples/confessions written by card readers and people who work with spirituality in general is that usually everything seems to 'fit' way too well together. No reading is ever wrong, no blank spot, no bad clients, no insecurity etc. It feels more like and egotrip sprinkled with self-advertising than actual memories.<br /><br />Of course, I am not saying Jane Stern does that in her book. In fact, if her book is a bit more sincere in regard to this, I think I'd give it a chance. :)<br /><br />Thank you for this very straightforward review, I wish I knew how to do that! I am soooo verbose! :pMLFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014075906695139013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417527629484206693.post-73624413548948872122011-10-17T22:22:49.532-06:002011-10-17T22:22:49.532-06:00Hi Manda, I've never heard of her before eithe...Hi Manda, I've never heard of her before either, still based on your review it's not one I'll be reading any time soon either. As the years go by for me, I am a little more selective about what I read in tarot, I want it to be new, innovative and hopefully present me with something different to think about.<br /><br />Thanks for an interesting review.Helen A.

This is important for the tarot reader to build a rapport.

I had never heard of Jane Stern either before I heard her promoting her book on a local radio station. I always enjoy seeing how other readers interpret the cards, so I may look for this book at our local library. Your review convinced me that it is not worth purchasing.<br /><br />TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417527629484206693.post-17774606608957003292011-09-11T23:58:12.758-06:002011-09-11T23:58:12.758-06:00I am the one who posted that one star review with ...I am the one who posted that one star review with the accompanying video.

I am not familiar with that publisher but I don't think it was self published. When I googled the author after this writing I was underwhelmed too.<br /><br />And yeah, PLN, my husband pointed out to me that line on her tarot site that says she won't share her clients stories. I hate to judge people, but she is either lying to her readers or lying to her clients, which might be part of why the book did not sit well with me.<br /><br />I will definitely look out for that book, Chloe. Thank you for the suggestion!<br /><br />Thank you all for reading my review! My purpose in writing this review was not to turn off fellow readers, both of books and cards, but to discuss my uneasy feelings with the ethics of this book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09502811012649776468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417527629484206693.post-14348349673472040682011-09-02T12:43:22.281-06:002011-09-02T12:43:22.281-06:00Hi Manda,

I really enjoyed it, and the "Secrets" are mainly about how to get the most out of a psychic reading. He's spiritual, knowledgeable, and empowering - a very different tone to the one you describe!<br /><br />Don't think I'll be reading this lady any time soon ;><br />ChloëInner Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577110987784585986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417527629484206693.post-25223242471391152452011-09-02T01:24:36.899-06:002011-09-02T01:24:36.899-06:00Well that makes three of us who have never heard o...Well that makes three of us who have never heard of her.<br /><br />I like this quote from her website - "Everything we discuss during the reading is held in utmost confidence.
