Book Reviews of Halloween: The Best of Martha Stewart Living
Book Review: The Martha of Halloween
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoy the book, seeing that I missed out on the special edition of the magazine last year. I love the photography and the ease of directions and instructional photos(the little dracula kid still weirds me out though) I have spent a year online looking for tasteful but creepy "organic" Halloween ideas. But after all that time, this book still has the best feel. I do agree that some new ideas would have been good.Book Review: If you don't already have the magazine....
Summary: 2 Stars
....It is a good book. Like the other reviewers, I bought Martha's Halloween magazine last year, and it has all of the same things, with only a few minor changes. I was also very dissapointed with the book, because the magazine was good and I had hoped for more of the same. So if you don't have the magazine, buy the book. If you have the magazine, save your money.... the one or two additional projects don't justify the cost.Book Review: There is nothing new in this book.
Summary: 3 Stars
I love Martha's Halloween Ideas. So much that I bought the special Halloween issue last year and also that I've saved old October issues of her magazine. This book is a compilation of those things. I was hoping for some new ideas, but this book had none. If you haven't seen her ideas before, this book would be great. I feel like it was a waste of money for me.Book Review: Nothing more than her magazine from last year...
Summary: 1 Stars
If you bought Martha's Halloween magazine last year, PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS! It is nothing more than alot of the same idea's and pictures, except with a hefty price tag. I was very disappointed in it and will return it.Book Review: Book or glorified magazine?
Summary: 3 Stars
I found the contents of this "book" to be terrific. It is full of lovely pictures and creative, scary, unique ideas. Some of them are very labor intensive, but anyone familiar with Martha would expect that. On content alone I probably would have given it 4 1/2 or 5 stars. However, I was extremely disappointed in the format. When I opened the box my first thought was, "I don't remember ordering a magazine." That's really what this is. No, it does not have any ads and none of those annoying little subscription cards fell out of the pages but those are about the only differences. It is no thicker than a standard magazine, and in fact, not as thick as most of my issues of Marth Stewart Living. Because it is a book that should get a lot of use over the years, I can't help but expect that it will look dog-eared very quickly. I would much rather have spent a little more and gotten a hard cover version or at least a thicker book with smaller, sturdier pages.
