A bit weak at the end, but still quite good. I look forward to the third!

I can’t let go of the urge to read this again and again. One of my favourite books.

Pretty comprehensive for an introductory textbook. A bit slow, but that’s to be expected.

This book was very useful as a clear overview of his work. The section on the mythos monsters was especially helpful.

Blocking the combinations into set groups (tranquil, striking, etc) was a handy tool, although I noticed the presence of “feminine” colours but a lack of “masculine”...

This book, serving merely as an advertisement for the design firms involved, could have included a bit more content regarding why the designs were good and how they were breaking the rules, rather than just the images of the designs themselves.

My my, how things have changed. A man would never consider marrying a nurse for her money in this day and age, least of all in Canada.

Pretty boring stuff, and nothing I can apply. Too bad.

Dear Lord! I can’t get a hold on this guy. He’s quite the braggart, making sure to specify each and every one of his accomplishments. But then again, he deserves to be a braggart; he’s done so much. By about halfway through the book I became tired of boasting, but until then I was stimulated by his curiosity and his desire to KNOW EVERYTHING. When I’m curious about something I don’t necessarily follow up on it, but while reading the book I was inspired to do so. I can’t say I liked this autobiography, but it certainly changed the way I think about science. Permanently, I hope.
