The two other critics here obviously don't get it. This is packaged and presented as a fun gift, not a serious look at voodooo. That's like criticizing a Mary Kate and Ashley novel for not being War and Peace.

I got this as a gag gift for someone lol :) It's a pretty funny book I like the was it's written. however I don't like the voodoo doll on the fron some of the strings are becoming loose. Othere then that it's pretty good. It was a gag gift anyway and for that it surved it's purpose.

More of a laugh than a serious delivery of how to do practice the craft.
Very dissappointing.

I would like to begin with a good thing. The illustrator: Julie Paschkis. The pictures are beautiful, that's what sold me on the book. The doll on the front of the book was a good idea too I thought. It looked interesting. I thought I'd get some serious Voodoo history. The illustrator should make a book of illustrations I would buy that book and adore it. Dump this fool Lou. The author completely insults our intelligence. I will be careful not to buy any more of his products and if it wasn't for her beautiful drawings I wouldn't have been tricked in buying the book to begin with. I thought it was a more serious book. Running Press. I'll have to remember that company too. His writing is not even slightly amusing to me in the least. He gives me a headache he is so stupid. In fact, I might try and return the book even though it was a discounted book store. I didn't even get any pins with my book. I still paid 7.99 for it and it is not worth it. I say we all get together and put a voodoo hex on him. If it's supposed to be a gag gift it should clearly state that on the cover and the money he asks for isn't such a gag.

Let me first of all say, that anytime you see the name Voodoo Lou. Be very cautious! The man is nothing but a trickster writing books and selling dolls about Voodoo like they were the real thing. If you're looking for a gag gift for someone who has a rotten boss,a stupid neighbor,or a emotionless lover, fine this stuff would give them a chuckle or two. But if you are looking for real Voodoo products stear clear of anything that has Voodoo Lou's name on it.

(The person called 'bookfan' is the one that doesn't get it, this review was written to inform people about this product, and to let them know that this is indeed a gag gift and not a real book on Voodoo, so don't buy it unless that's what you're looking for.)
