Query: An acupuncture student's perspective

As an acupuncture student, this was the required textbook for my Five Elements class. I was really looking forward to reading the book, but was disappointed. If you're a student and debating whether to buy this book, in my opinion, it's not worth it. This was evidenced by the large number of postings on the school bulletin board after the class of used copies for sale.The writing style tended to meander around without exactly saying anything. There were a lot of quotes from song lyrics circa 1960 and 1970. Personally, I didn't think the Beatles were singing about the Five Elements.That said, if you're really into Five Element acupuncture, it's a worthwhile book to have. There are some good sections on the Officials as well as descriptions of the different elements. However, if Five Element Acupuncture isn't your thing, this book won't convince you that it is.
