3.0 out of 5 starsToo "Nice"
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 18, 2016
This is a "nice" book: the sentiments expressed will trouble no one and while I enjoyed reading it and considering what the author wrote I found the book a tad mushy and wished that it had a few sharper edges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 8, 2016
I really enjoyed the ideas presented in this book. It opens up new ways to look at art, not only in galleries, but in your own home and those around you. How we present ourselves to others and what we are needing becomes clearer.

1.0 out of 5 stars So what?
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 19, 2015

I found the content self-evident and I cannot get much out of it. Mea culpa, possibly, of course, because the author is well known and appreciated. But you did ask for my opinion.

This is written in such a easy flowing way, you feel like your little voice inside your head is really chatting. The book just keeps on giving and has so many artworks to draw from and touches on lots of different subjects.
