I picked up this quick read at a library sale. The authors believe that hosting a party is like walking a tight rope and that is only fun to watch when the tightrope walker stumbles. To that end, the parties presented are jumping off points and not fully developed. However there are several I would like to try particularly in the bunch/breakfast section.
