Nardone has written to accompany the fantastic photos was fun. I absolutely loved this book. Even just flipping through the pages and reading the hilarious and entertaining things Mr. Getting to the actual carving is easy and creative, and the detail in the photos included make it easy to grasp what you're aiming for and how to get there, even for the novice carver. I highly recommend this to anyone who's looking to up their game for carving and displaying some seriously twisted fare this Halloween.
I like some of the pumpkins in this book, but most are just too gory or sick for me to even think about creating. "Moldy Beard Pumpkin" was just a rotten pumpkin. I like, "Cannibal Pumpkin", "Property Defender Pumpkin", "Road Kill Eating Pumpkin", and "Conjoined Twins Pumpkins" (although I could do a much better one than the one shown in the book). The others were either too gross, sick or simply lame. "Drowning in a Bag Pumpkin" was just too sick - it's just too sick.But, the book definitely awakens new ideas in my imagination, and I can create some super cool pumpkins of my own. This book doesn't come with patterns, but has very good explanations of how to create the pumpkins, what tools to use, vivid photographs of each pumpkin creation, and will your sick/gross pumpkin merit a call from the neighborhood association president.
Lacking in creativity. Forgettable. Little to inspire. Filled with air and space and little more. Skip it.
I recommend this book if you are into Halloween like me. Not only is there unique pumpkin ideas, there are witty educational tidbits on each theme pumpkin. He tells you what tools to use and even how to make fake blood. and don't forget the proper way to dispose of your pumpkin carcass.
this was a great book but i bought it new form amazon and there was writing on the sides and cover.
