Summary: It's just insulting!
Review: I am rating this book a 0. The book is a complete waste of ink (and film - the photos appears to have been taken by an elementary school graduate of photography). It's written by a couple of unsophisticated authors who really don't know how to throw a party, but pretend they do. Every sentence is an insult and the tone of the book is haughty, obnoxious, and goofy. How many times do I need to reminded to throw out the thrash after the party? Or better yet, on some pages, before the party??? Next time I decide to waste money on a book, it will on a Martha Stewart publication sans insults and corny jokes. I would give this book to an enemy just to torture them.

Summary: It's just insulting!
Review: The authors mistakenly believe the reader would be interested in ad nauseum details of their personal partying! Nothing new or inspired in this tiny book.

Summary: Kind and Helpful Book
Review: This book is 150+ pages of kind, helpful advice about entertaining. It isn't condescending and it makes entertaining sound fun and easy.
The authors share a lot of basics that sound like common sense - but the things they touch on (especially the etiquette topics) I find get overlooked and forgotten a lot. So this book is a nice reminder. Plus all the basics in the book make it a handy & straightforward reference guide.
This is a nice, very insightful and helpful little book.

Summary: If You're Nervous About Entertaining - Get This Book!
Review: This charming book makes entertaining fun again! If you are nervous about entertaining like I was (or know someone who is), this book is a must-have.
After years of being afraid to entertain for fear I wouldn't "measure up," this book really set me free. It reminded me that the decorations and fancy meal aren't the most important parts of a party - it's about making your guests happy and having fun!
After reading this book (in one night - it's very easy to read), I planned and threw my first get-together in years, following the book's advice. The evening was a success, and I can't wait to do it again.
This book would make a thoughtful engagement or Christmas gift (I'm planning on giving several). I highly recommend it.
