So you think I’m slacking in my reading because I haven’t written a review? But actually I’m taking classes and reading tons of books, making projects and passing exams. This book is one of those I read last March and it was really helpful in my classes, assignments, projects and exams.

To my amazement I did enjoy studying from this book. I had it for my class the event planing and it helped alot I do advice people to use it , it will help you with your projects and especially with exams. I am giving only a 2.3 stars because it is a text book Is not a book to read and enjoy (no one like to study right).

Using it right now for my final exam with the power point and it helps so much.

This guide to event planning is super pretty to look at, but essentially self explanatory inside. If you've never planned an event start to finish before, there are helpful tips and it gives a good run down of what needs to be thought of.

Some of content is so obvious though, and could have been trimmed down substantially!

I've kept it to look pretty on my bookshelf and maybe I'll refer to it once or twice one day.
