This book was an easy quick read. It is hard to rate because I enjoyed some of the authors better than others, but all in all it was a fun book. The craft projects at the end of the book were also a fun addition. Although they did not all give detailed instructions, there was enough to get started, and incentive to find out more about the craft. (Or to decide it was not something I ever would want to do!)
