🤯

This book has blown not only my own mind, but the minds of pretty much every single person that I could get to read it.

A fun time!

This book is ENORMOUS and is a great time, it's so fun to look up the birthdays of people you know. I wouldn't necessarily put too much stock into it, but it's really fun to read.

I love this book

This is a very insightful book that’s more than ones’ astrology sign it by day of birth. And it’s pretty right on! I recommend for a good read!

Great!!!

I do not regret buying this book! I think it's super fun and it's a pretty interesting topic. The day I got it, I brought it to my college class and the professor actually let me ask people about their birthdays, all in all, this is a really cool book and even though it might not all be true, it's entertaining.

Too Much Fun ... Even For a Skeptic

I am too much of a skeptic to believe in astrology, but despite that I found THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF BIRTHDAYS to be a fun read that provides literally years worth of entertainment. What intrigued me most about this dictionary-sized book is that instead of dividing mankind into 12 groups based upon astrological signs, THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF BIRTHDAYS devotes a two page spread to those born on each of the 365 days of the year and February 29th, too. To some this may not seem interesting, but having grown up in a large family of six kids -- five of whom are Aquariuses -- I could never relate to astrology because none of my brothers and sisters has anything in common, yet we are all left to read the same paragraph in the newspaper horoscope. There are three reasons you may want to check out the SECRET LANGUAGE OF BIRTHDYAS either for yourself or as a gift for a friend: 1. In many cases, if you look up your birthday, you will be shocked to find how accurately a complete stranger describes you. In my case, and in the case of many people I know, this book described us to a tee, including the good, the bad and the ugly; 2. When having friends over, this book can be enormously entertaining. Old, young, fat, thin, black, white, Puerto Rican, everyone loves to read about him or herself. Hearing these birthday-related personality profiles has provided hours of conversation as my friends and I debate whether we are accurately described in this book. Most people agree they are. Even funnier is looking up the birthdays of famous people. It is truly shocking what you will find here. Reading about Bill Clinton's and Monica Lewinsky's birthdays will amaze you because in both cases the profiles were written before the scandal; and finally 3. When giving a birthday present to someone, I like to Xerox his or her two page spread and make it into a card. I have found that often they like it more than the gift itself. - Regina McMenamin

"Scary" seems to be a good term...

I'm not big on horoscopes, and hold a long-held belief that horoscopes are self-fulfilling once you read them. If you are looking for a "major romantic disaster" you will find one...whether or not you would normally classify it as major... but I'm digressing a tad. I glanced through this book, looking up my birthday. AHH! Howly cow (and stronger, sensored words)! It pegged me perfectly. Even down to my chosen profession as an applied pedgagogical specialist dealing with underdeveloped, high-spirited, curious young people (I'm a teacher). Seesh. This book, while it hasn't convinced me that astology and birthday personalities exists per se...has thoroughly convinced me that I'm being followed and closely watched by someone. Or that there is some truth in this "horoscopic" idea that has lasted for thousands of year. READ THIS BOOK! Even us skeptics need to get something tossed into our faces once and awhile.

The Secret Language of Birthdays

I have had my b-day #s read once before. I "stumbled" onto this book while I was "killing time" at a school library. When I read the pages relating to my birthday; it "nailed" me to a tee, and it also paralleled, identically, to the reading I'd done in the past. I read the birth dates which related to my child, friends and family and the accuracy was uncanny. I'd say the accuracy would be in the range of 85% to 100% on a person's b-day. I was so impressed with the accuracy, I ordered the book. My friends and neighbors love the book and borrow it whenever they have company. It is a book that is accurate and fun!!

I usually don't believe in this stuff...

I don't believe in astology and I don't think anyone can tell anything by your birthday, but I glanced at my birthday in a friend's copy of this book and it was incredibly like me. I have friends who share my birthday who are nothing like me, but it still descibed them very well. This book is not only fun to look at but accurate as well.
