Ty Pennington Books

This was an incredible book, the first one I read in the Pennington/ Ruth series. The characters were almost painfully true to life; Penn as a talented thug and Bates...especially stood out for their complex characters. It was difficult for me to read this book since I have known people very similar to Penn and co., and it was hard to suffer with them through their difficult last year of school until they developed the beginnings of an adult self- awareness. An inspiring read, true-to-life characters and a solid, realistic plot. Written for teens, but it almost takes an adult perspective to really appreciate the subtleties of the character's personalities and actions.

I am looking for Ty's magazine...TODAY'S thoughts, TODAY's information.
This was too dated for my interests.

I bought the book, like many other's cause I am a fan of Ty. I think that his team and him do an amazing job on Home Makeover and loved the stuff done on trading spaces. I would be lying to myself and you, if I said had I seen the book first I would buy it. I like some of the designs in the book, in fact I am keeping the book cause I like one idea. He has a lot of neat outside the box ideas...like using a plunger to make a light. Aside from some very appealing and interesting pictures of Ty I didn't get much out of the rest of the book.

I expected a lot of home ideas and received a few. I hope other's get more out of the book than I did.

Okay, we watched TY on trading places, and Home Makeover and really like his simple, nice-looking designs. We bought the book because of it.

Great ideas, simple to apply, and good information.

If you like Ty's work, and are a little bit handy, this is a good book. If you don't know a miter cut from a chop-off, then call a professional!

Showed various ways to think out of the box and use creativity for various projects.

I never knew who Ty was until he came onto Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Ty is one of my favorite desinger on the show, so when I found out that he had a book out I had to buy it to support him. The pictures are awesome and some of Ty's comment and ideas are good. One of the things I like are the tylights that he created. One of thoes days I am going to have some of my own.

Great job Ty. Keep up the good work and we look forward to some more.

If you are a huge Ty fan I will go head and buy it.
