I bought this book after reading all the glowing reviews - I was looking for some truly creative and inspiring new ideas for parties however I am completely unimpressed with this book.Granted the photograph's are lovely and show the celebrities enjoying themselves but there is no depth to the theme suggestions, menus, decorations etc. I returned the book because I do not need another copy of same old, same old.Product Description
