I enjoyed the wonderfully festive pictures and I was able to glean some ideas from her book as a starting point for my own Hallowe'en projects. However, I'm not so sure there is enough substance nor wholly original ideas to make it a worthwhile purchase. It is a fun book to thumb through but most of the "magic" is to be found in the photographs. I tried some of the recipies: the cocoa cobweb cupcakes were not "chocolatey" enough and the pumpkin soup was okay but not spectacular.

It was so hot here in AZ this fall, I needed a jumpstart to get into the Halloween spirit. This was just the book. Great photos and seasonal recipes made me run out to buy sweet potatoes for making the baked chips! I envisioned keeping them on hand for lunches and snacks, but they were gone in a day. The black cats were cute, too, but we all suffered with black tongues after the fact. Plenty of other cute ideas for little ones.

If you want Julia Child, don't buy this book; but if you want a holiday read, with great pictures and some nice recipes, find a notch on your bookshelf for this one.

Some of the ideas were cute and worth trying. But, for the most part, it is not worth the money. I loved the pictures, which were the best part of the book. I plan on trying some of the ideas, but depending on the age of your children, it's not really a family oriented book. I lost interest very rapidly, as did my 4 and 7 year olds.

I've collected a lot of Halloween books over the years, and some of them have been real duds. I was relieved this was not one of those. The pics are cozy, there are some fun decorating ideas,and I found the recipes creative and different. I highly recommend both the book and the seller.

This book is cute and has some fun ideas but not all the items have pictures and there is a lot of "adult" oriented food in there which is not why I bought it. A few cute ideas but I suggest buying it used to get your moneys worth.

I have had this book for sometime now, and I always break it out for for my halloween parties. The pumpkin curry soup recipe is sooo yummy, and the pictures and crafts are inpiring! If you are in the 20-35 year old set, I would reccomend this book!
