Summary: Excellent book, but beware!
Comment: Having read numerous books on the subject, I'd say that Ms. Wong's "A Master Course in Feng Shui" is truly an outstanding one. It's not easy reading, because it deals with very complex subjects, but since it's a workbook, you can always keep checking the level of your understanding.
But! If you have read about and applied either Compass School or Black Sect FS before, beware! Ms. Wong uses Authentic FS and you'll realize it has very little to do with what you've believed about this ancient art of placement earlier, so it might just either confuse or kind of disappoint you. I'd say that if one of those schools have worked for you, just stick with them.

Summary: A master course for self study.
Comment: This is a great instructional book in both content and structure.
Being involved in professional training myself (non-Feng Shui related), I can verify (from a trainers perspective) that it is effective for individual home-study and that the structure, content, language, examples and review questions are all aligned with its prime purpose: to provide practical education- a how-to-do-it-yourself guide for individuals.
The course is applicable to evaluating a house (or apartment); its location, its structure and floorplan. It then teaches you how to arrange the rooms and interior features and when/how to apply enhansing features or protective ones. This is what many other Feng Shui books try to achieve yet fail, because they are not designed for effective learning (i.e. a book can be excellent in presenting a theory yet very poor as a training manual). This is what makes Wong's book trully superior to other books.
Thus, if you are more interested in the history and philosophy of Feng Shui this is not the book; for this buy her previous book.
Highly recommended.

Summary: Comprehensive and Enlightening
Comment: Unlike many other fengshui books, A master course in fengshui is more of a workbook instead of a quick-reference solution. Beginners will find this book useful and I would think the learning curve is manageable. Eva Wong has also highlighted some of the techniques she personally uses and coupled with the many pictures and diagrams, this is a great book that anyone interested in fengshui should get.
As for the 4/5 star rating, well Eva Wong's perception of the flying star interpretation is very different from other masters. Unlike most masters who analyse the sitting and facing stars, Eva looks at the base star and facing star. Some of her interpretations seemed unsafe to me like the 3/8. Nevertheless what you will learn off this book far outweighs the controversial aspects.
A good book to ground yourself proper in fengshui
