Summary: Not what I expected
Review: As a Trading Spaces addict, I thought this book would be more fun or at least more helpful. It doesn't make it as an entertaining book but it doesn't make it as a do it yourself manual either. Ty is so cute and funny, but that doesn't come through in this book. What a shame. I'm sorry I bought it.

Summary: A little disappointing
Review: I love Trading Spaces, so I was thrilled to find another Trading Spaces book on the market. I'm glad I bought this, but I'd give it a C- compared to the others. I was hoping that even more of Ty's funny personality would shine through in the book, but it didn't. The book doesn't quite make it as a good how-to manual because it isn't detailed enough. The book doesn't quite satisfy me as a Trading Spaces fan because there isn't much evidence of the show in Ty's book. The book is kind of odd in its approach. I love Ty but I was disappointed in this book.

Summary: Zany as Ty Himself
Review: I am a huge Trading Spaces fan and love Ty's humor, so I had to have the book. This book primarily focuses on Ty's house and how-to's of projects he used in his house. The book also includes some tricks of the trade and quite a few color photos of Ty and his house. Ty's personality certainly comes across in the book. If you like him, then there is a good chance that you'll enjoy reading the book. If you're expecting a lot of information about trading Spaces, then you will probably be disappointed. If you're a big fan of Ty and want to learn something, I recommend getting the book, especially since the price has now dropped at many retailers.

Summary: Hit and Miss
Review: I read through this book in one sitting, and found it to be great. I love the show, and like everyone else, I also love Ty. His new show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is also a great show. I was hoping the book had some actual plans for things, or more actual HOW TO's. But, it was filled with Ty humor, Ty pictures, and some good tips on renovating and repair. Maybe I was just hoping to see some tips and tricks on how to actual build some of the neat stuff he builds.I think we need to get Ty to write a book titled: Ty's Guide to Building Cool Things Easily for the Beginner. And, if he could do it all in the shower like that one picture, it would sell like hot cakes :D :D :D Anyway, thumbs up to Ty for being a great person and for writing a good book. I only gave it 4 stars and not 5 because it didn't have more information in it, as far as building things which is what he primarily does on Trading Spaces.

Summary: ty posing
Review: If you mainly want pictures of Ty, this is the book for you. I found no real value in the advice given, unless you like using piano pieces to decorate with. I thought it was very disappointing, and a shame my children spent their money to buy this for my husband for christmas.

Summary: Major disappointment
Review: If you're a fan of Trading Spaces, you'll buy this book, and that's fine. But if you are expecting any really good information on home repair as per the title, you will be very disappointed, as I was. There's not much in this book except some pictures of a guy who obviously thinks he's good looking. It doesn't seem as if he knows much about home repair or he would have put more information into this book. I actually like Ty, but I would have been happier with a Ty pinup calendar or something instead of a book that promises something it just doesn't deliver.

Summary: A must read for fans of Trading Spaces (and Ty!)
Review: My husband is a home carpenter, a fix it all man. We both enjoy Trading Spaces. I have purchased a few of the other Trading Spaces books, but found myself disappointed. My favorite designers are Frank and Laurie, and I just had no use for the other designers parts of the books, so I sold them off. This book I bought on a lark for my husband, because we both think Ty is hilarious. My husband was extremely impressed with the ideas that were presented by Ty, and the manner in which they were presented. Alot of the technicial advice that lies inside is accurate, and factual and even my other half got some great tips from it. There are some off the wall ideas for decorating as one reviewer said, but you don't have to impliment them, but one can appriciate them as original. This book is great for a starter book, but even a seasoned professional can get something out of every page - a must buy! And if you want to go more into the details of home improvement or decoration I recommend the dummies or complete idiots series. These books are great for the beginner and encompass many different aspects of the areas. From there you can progress to magazines, or books that specialize in your particular interest.
