Great Book with lots of great ideas. Also gives insight to the core principles of event planning.

This book not only is stuffed full of breathtaking pictures of unusual and creative parties of all kinds but it actually gives the reader instruction in creating concepts on ones own by following very simple formulas. Renny is a genius at what he does and a generous spirit to teach others what comes naturally for him. If you have a wedding or ever are in charge of any kind of event, this book is a worthy investment.

The Handbook of Clinical Child Neuropsychology provides an excellent review of the various patterns of neuropsychological impairment seen in children with various medical disorders (i.e., Diabetes, Seizure Disorder, etc.). This book is an excellent resource!

Terribly boring!!! I wanted to finally read a book about Burt that would share more about the man behind the image. Instead I found out more about the author. The author spent entirely too much time on sharing her feelings and what she did and how terribly important she was. Don't waste your time. If you want to read a good book about Burt, read his autobiography!

Typical "former employee" fare which leaves huge holes in the dragging story for obvious reasons and falls deeply into the "it's all about me" trap. Reynolds' own bio was more entertaining and more forthright.

A revealing, intelligent and entertaining book: Elaine Blake Hall was Reynolds'secretary for plenty of time, but what really counts here is the fact that, besides secretary, she was a mother and a best friend for Burt Reynolds. With an agile and simple narrative, Burt and Me is an excellent book and a great way to know more about this terrific celebrity: his problems with drugs, his turbulent divorce, his family, the friends who never abandoned him in the bad times (like Tammy Winette, Jon Voight, Martin Sheen, Ned Beatty, Ann Margret and Dinah Shore. The chapter about Shore is particularly touching and thrilling) and his films (like the shooting of Cop and a Half, a movie that had many troubles and set backs). The author demonstrates capacity and intelligence in condensing all her experience in this book, and she reveals to be a special, dedicated and kind-hearted woman, demonstrating that she cared (and still cares) for Burt Reynolds, not because he is a movie star, but because she knows that inside of him, there is a sad, unsecure, but kind child. Burt and Me tells the trajectory of Reynolds, but, parallelly, it traces a small biography for Elaine, a simple woman who faced great challenges...and came out triumphant! buy this book, you won't be sorry!
