Not worth the money
5 Nov 2006
Format:Hardcover
I have loved all of Carolyne Roehm's books, but not this one. I was so disappointed with it. Many of the pictures were from her other books. It did not give me much inspiration or motivation to say the least. "At Home" and "A Passion for Flowers" were her best. This was a complete waste of time for me. The idea that she is marketing this book for $50 is awful. I would suggest something other than this book. Not much thought went into this one.

NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING
12 Nov 2006
Format:Hardcover
As many other reviewers have stated, Carolyne Roehm is the ultimate tastemaker with the most exquisite taste, so this book certainly doesn't make sense to me. The photography is well done but the organization of the book is random and it makes me wonder if she was even involved in its production.
Everyone is entitled to make a mistake. Consider this Ms. Roehm's mistake.

A Passion for Parties
9 Dec 2006
Format:Hardcover
I own all of her books and this was a big disappointment. I actually returned the book which I rarely ever do. The pictures were a disappointment as well - many black and white - which a few are ok but not the large number she had. Also the photographs were many times blurry - which I guess they thought was artistic but as a reader you want to see details - not blur and black. If I want art - I buy an art book. I think this book was hastily put together and it shows!
