I bought this book and really loved it! I needed some help planning a bridal shower for my best friend and this was definitely a life saver. I looked at some of the other shower books and they had the same things over and over. This book was different from everything I'd seen. There were so many games that I could relate to. The pictures are great as well. They reflect African-Americans which is something I hadn't seen in all the other books I looked at. My girlfriends and I had a ball playing the games from the Hip-hop and old school section. The games in the Television and Movie section were also fun. It's about time that someone did something like this. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Thanks to this book, my guests said it was the best shower they had been to.
