Singing for Your Supper: Entertaining Ways to Be a Perfect Guest

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing, to say the least
Review: I don't know about other peoples' social lives, but I can't imagine that you'd be invited more than once if you monopolized peoples' evenings with the things suggested in this book. Most of the suggestions are sophomoric, if not childish. I felt I wasted my money.

Summary: charming and a perfect gift
Review: I loved this book! It offers old-fashioned notes on courteous behaviour as well as tips on how to lighten up a slow party. It is not for everyone, some of it may seem a little silly to those obsessed with the current trend towards rudeness, but if you like Miss Manners@ you will enjoy this book. It would also make an interesting hostess gift, as other guests could attempt some of the suggestions for entertainment described here.
