review 1: I can appreciate why others gave this book three or four stars. If you like the author, or his show, it is easy enough to feel his charisma throughout his text. I am not one of his fans, but also do not hold that against his book. The tone can be fun at times, and at other times, his bantering is downright boring, lol. The first part of the book is about style, but on a very fundamental level. The next parts, socializing and such...again fairly fundamental. If you like etiquette books, the only purpose this one really lends is its novelty outside of those fundamental boundaries....and the wittiness of the author, lol. The speech section, however, is actually quite good, if a bit hasty in its approach. The food section is ok, too....though when I bought this book I was disa... moreppointed that the last third or so was recipes, and not work on etiquette. Overall I give it two stars, though 2.5 might have been more accurate.
review 2: I read this during the Super Bowl and it is great! Loved the tips on how to decorate, especially because I found out that Clinton has a 6' chandelier painted glossy black made out of antlers in his apartment, just because he is *that fabulous*. I also didn't know that one could get that gap taken in, that sometimes happens in the back of women's pants. Who knew? Clinton did! Well, and tailors knew too, I suppose. less
