I'm a big KvD fan. (All my reviews seem to start this way - guess I just like people).What I really enjoyed about this book were the relationship bits..Kat falls in love really rapidly and describes the experience so viscerally that you get a delicious shivery reminder of how love feels.You can't put a price on that.The book is designed beautifully full of tattoo art, photos, curiosities from Kat's personal collection and was obviously collated with love and lots of personal touches. It was a joy to page through, each page a delight to the eye.Having said that - it is a journal so you don't get a sense of a story style narrative, and I'm sure most people will want to buy the books for the tattooing stories not the gooey lovey dovey stuff...
It always annoys me when people read published personal journals and expect something profound while at the same time intriguing and "flowy". That isn't the case so much of the time. Writing in a journal is selfish and intense, the product of the writer basically opening up a blank book and bleeding all over the pages. Kat's book wasn't a story, wasn't meant to entertain or have any sort of flow you find in a lot of books. She wrote it because it helped her through times, and I can relate.
i love kat von d and cant wait to get my tattoo by her
Kat rocks!!!
