1.0 out of 5 stars Most reviews are fake ... beware!, June 12, 2009

By	Charles D. Parker "transported by books" (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you check the reviewers, they are almost all new reviewers with a single review (of this book) about the same time frame and having the same writing style and tone. Apparently the author or the publisher feels it necessary to stuff the ballot box on this one. It's unfortunate Amazon doesn't have a way to prevent this type of misleading biasing. Check for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Icy Treats a Big Hit, June 12, 2008

By	Patricia Vining "Pat Vining" (Laguna Beach, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This gorgeous book inspired someone who doesn't cook and whose kids are grown and gone, but yet loves to entertain. I admit--I started with the "cocktail pops" but they were a HUGE hit on Memorial Day weekend. Beautiful design, photos that make your mouth water, clear instructions, and many creative DIY suggestions make this book a must-have for any age!
