Once again, I’m late in posting a review of a book I finished a month ago. For the longest time I’ve been wanting to read this book since my comm design professor recommended it to me my first year in university. Three years later and after graduating with a journalism degree instead of an art degree, I bought this book on a whim.

My impression of it? Ok in the beginning, great in the middle, but at the end? WTF? Seriously, I felt a little cheated at the end of the book, though perhaps I just didn’t get it. So if you’ve read this book and thought it to be brilliant, please email me and let me know what the hell it means. Basically it’s about this kid who tries to survive his first year as a graphic design student and comes across the most eccentric graphic design professor. Really, he has them doing some weird assignments, but weird enough to actually be believable.

Other than that, I think it’s a great book—a very unique story that only insiders who’ve ever gone through university level art classes will understand. Believe me, the narrator’s experience are true to the dotted i’s.
