How about actually reading the description??,
This review is from: Retro Luau: Planning the Perfect Polynesian Party (Hardcover)
What a great book!
Unlike a previous reviewer, I read all about this book before I bought it, and knew what I was getting. And I love it. Full of fun party ideas and MEALS. Ok, recipes which can be turned into meals. Ingredients are accessible, and fairly easy to make. We're planning a luau for the summer, and this book will be our guide!

We made almost all the stuff in this book and love it. We made a weekend Laau and had over 35 guest and they loved it. It went over so well that they have asked us to do another one. We even made the pig, we love this book, even my kids love the food.

I'll probably never make any of the recipes nor use any of the party ideas but it was still a fun read.
