I'm thinking of buying Wonder Readings by Kenton Knepper but would like to hear more about it, from people who have bought It already.

Thanks.

I have it and it's a mixed bag. There are definitely some great things worth knowing, and I'm fairly sure you'll get your money's worth if you study it.

That said, I have spoken with people well-versed in NLP who feel it is a waste of time, so I think it depends on your level of knowledge.

David, did the people well-versed in NLP think it was a waste of time because it was stuff they already knew, or because they thought it was incorrect?

Sorry, should have elaborated. They felt it was a waste of time because they were already familiar with the concepts.

I agree with bartlewizard. I think it has a good amount of usable material, but there is some material, depending on your act/style, you may never use.

I think it is a fairly good intro into the world of cold reading.

Like many professionals, Kenton has gems that are worth the price of his works, and things that are just so so. This is true for Wonder Readings. To the best of my knowledge, it is one of his first major collaborations with Rex Sikes one of the NLP proponents. I do not know your level of reading expertise. If you are just starting into cold reading, I suggest you go for the less pricey material on the market. A search of the cold reading topic in the Café will give you plenty of references. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys your advice is appreciated. I think I will hold off on buying this and take Lee's advice and start with less pricey items. again thanks.

I was doing cold reading before I got the book but I would have to say if I had to have one cold reading book ever It would have to be Ian Rowlands, I'm definetly a fan.
