Sometimes, there's so much hype about a book, I'm willing to buy it - sight unseen. Most of the time, I haven't been disappointed. However, every once in awhile, I wonder what all the fuss is about. Such is the case of Fashion Geek - a book that promised to give me light up shoes and more failed to deliver projects that made me go 'wow'. Seriously, who is going to dress up like a lightening bug except for a 4 year old little girl? Come on, Diana, you were a contestant on Project Runway for goodness sake! I will give Diana credit - all the projects are very 'do-able', especially since I have no electronics experience, but I was disappointed there was very little (if any) sewing involved.

The bottom line: While there are cleaver ideas included in the book, there are some already out there that do it better. If you looking for some geeky electronic sewing, be sure to check out Switch Craft: Battery-Powered Crafts to Make and Sew instead. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
