As a fan of Project Runway, I couldn't not read this book and I'm glad I did! It was full of fun fashion gossip (who is bitchy and who is not) and lots of great stories about Tim growing up. Perfect beach read.

A cute, fun read. Nothing deep or profound, but highly entertaining. And may I just say that it is fabulous to hear someone values manners as much as I do!

It felt like a long lunch with a name-dropping, gossipy acquaintance. I wanted to like it more, but it was all over the place.

A quick and fun guilty-pleasure read. Nothing mind-blowing but it certainly got a few giggles out of me.

This was a lot more gossipy than I was expecting from Tim Gunn, but a quick read that was often pretty funny.

This book was not well organized and just rambled on. And it made me dislike Tim Gunn and I've always found him charming. Fun fact: I went to a live taping of the Rachael Ray Show and he was the guest!

I liked this book mainly because I like Tim Gunn on Project Runway. Reading it is alot like having a conversation with someone who switches topics mid-sentence. It's interesting, but not well written. Definitely more like speaking with the man. His stories about people in the fashion industry are entertaining and his "Rules" are mostly good manners.

Fluffy fluffy fluff. I kind of love Tim Gunn, and it was delightful reading. His editor should have worked harder to keep everything organized, though. Maybe she did work really hard and he's just a nightmare to edit, I don't know. But lots of the chapters had anecdotes that didn't really fit together. But still, the book is kind of like hanging out and chatting with Tim Gunn, so it gets props for that.

A gossipy, short but somehow sprawling book by Tim Gunn, guru of Project Runway. Reads like he talks, so if you're a fan of the show, you'll hear him speaking in your head. Talks about his life, the show, dirt on various fashion industry folks, and his recommendations on getting on with things. I liked it quite a bit, but your mileage may vary.
