Quirky, Fun and Useful!, October 25, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Year's Eve Compendium: Toasts, Tips, Trivia and Tidbits for Bringing in the New Year (Hardcover)
This book is a hip and happening little treasure. It's truly useful if you're looking to make your New Year's Eve party memorable... it's also full of fun and entertaining facts. A great read, and a great guide!

The New Year's Eve Compendium, December 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Year's Eve Compendium: Toasts, Tips, Trivia and Tidbits for Bringing in the New Year (Hardcover)
This book was not very helpful in trying to plan a New Year's Eve party. Rather than compiling useful information about the holiday (histories and traditions), this book is mostly poorly written personal opinion.

Paris is burning, June 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Year's Eve Compendium: Toasts, Tips, Trivia and Tidbits for Bringing in the New Year (Hardcover)
Hmmm. Is there something burning? I seem to be smelling flames here. I found this book after reading the author's "Domain" book, and found both to be charming. Reader criticisms of books are extremely useful; personal vendettas against authors aren't.

Not worth it., June 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Year's Eve Compendium: Toasts, Tips, Trivia and Tidbits for Bringing in the New Year (Hardcover)
Haven't readers had enough of these cute little compendiums full of trite tidbits on trendy topics? Lo and behold here's another, on the rituals and customs of New Year's Eve. What have we done for all these years until this came along? When will publishers figure out that we, the general public, are not totally incapable of throwing our own celebratory gatherings without the guidance of another self-proclaimed hipster?!

Stop trying to be hip Lyon, June 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Year's Eve Compendium: Toasts, Tips, Trivia and Tidbits for Bringing in the New Year (Hardcover)
Yet another lifestyle book for the tragically unhip, written by what seems a 40-something alpha chick. This one'll end up in the bargain bin, like all the rest of Lyon's "helpful" tomes for the aesthetic pathetic.
