Review: Extreme Pumpkins: Diabolical Do-It-Yourself Designs to Amuse Your Friends and Scare Your Neighbors

Extreme Pumpkins: Diabolical Do-It-Yourself Designs to Amuse Your Friends and Scare Your Neighbors by Tom Nardone

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This book had so many excellent carving ideas that I can't decide what to do this year! The Property-Defender Pumpkin is incredible and it's top of my list but I don't want to stop there. If I can come up with a way to make fake fixings, I'm putting the hamburger pumpkin on the table as a centerpiece, too. Great book (and much better than it's sequel!)

Review: Extreme Pumpkins II: Take Back Halloween and Freak Out a Few More Neighbors

Extreme Pumpkins II: Take Back Halloween and Freak Out a Few More Neighbors by Tom Nardone

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



It's almost pumpkin carving time and I was looking for new, creative ideas. This book did have ideas but most of them would be more appealing to 9 year old boys than any adult reader. Puke, poop, snot...yep, all there. I was looking more for clever than juvenile. That said, I did like the one with eerie writing and I think I can use that for the office pumpkin carving entry, and I'll be able to fashion a zombie out of one. It was ok.
