Napoleon's Oracle

This is a cool little book. It is derived from an ancient Egyptian method of divination (first discovered by Napoleon when he was leading a troop across Egypt). So the source this book comes from is old and not a newly made up form of divination. Like I said, this is a cool little book. It is small, to the point, but best of all accurate. Now, because it is ancient the wording of the questions the quarry choses from, to describe his/her question in order to find the correct answer/outcome, are writen in old english style. Therefore, the quarry needs to be able to figure out which one fits him/her the best. This is pretty easy though. The answers are in old english too and some answers are cryptic. But if you think about the cryptic answer you get, you'll figure out that it does relate to your question and answer. The author explains this in more detail. The way it works is so simple, I did not think it would be that accurate. But it is! The reason I did not give it a 5 star is because I wish there were examples for each old style question (to make it easier on me when I want to translate my own question). It still is easy and quick.
