review 1: 3.5 stars. This was a decent, quick read full of creative exercises and suggestions about how to engage your senses and become a collector (of words, images, sounds, things, etc.). I took a few notes from the book on suggested activities, but several of them felt just a little too silly or pointless. I'm glad I didn't buy this book because the final 50 pages were mainly blank journal pages to record your responses to the exercises. I'm glad I read it, though, because I came away with a better sense of how I could keep my eyes open and observe the world around me. I don't know many actual exercises I'll do though.
review 2: Ever since I was little I always loved those books that you could write in; the ones that have some story, or quotes, or something inspirati... moreonal, but also an interactive component. When I got this book, I wasn't completely sure what to expect; all I knew was I loved the title, the idea, and the glimpses of pages I caught. Now that I've read through it, I absolutely love it. It blends together the ideas of science and art and inspires you to not do anything outrageous, but instead be an explorer in an every day way. Listen a little more carefully, look a little more closely, and recognizes the patterns, colors, and themes that surround us everyday that we pay no attention to. Some of the ideas in this book are absolutely fantastic (there is one about finding the colors of your world that I'm definitely going to do) and the quotes are well chosen. Most of all, I LOVE the graphics and how this book is organized. People underestimate how much the stylization of a book matters, but especially in a book like this, it is so important. The font is perfect. The art chosen for each page is fantastic (that is one of the things that initially attracted me to this book). And the way it is all arranged together just exemplifies how there is an art to creating a book that is not only in the words and ideas, but also in its expression as a piece of art. less
