Simply excellent! The satiric description of” future” culture is so on point that it reads like a creepily accurate prophecy. Personal devices that rates your popularity? You mean Facebook on your iPhone? Check. People camping out and protesting while the governments try to shut it down? You mean Occupy? Check. Economic crisis in the US of A and bad credit rating? Wait … that’s just news! Super Delightful Almost Real Life Story.Simply excellent! The satiric description of” future” culture is so on point that it reads like a creepily accurate prophecy.

The simple, unadorned style of writing contrast the elaborate, extravagant subject of the world of fine art. It is well written but the plot reads like a bad teen novel, complete with fairly 2-D characters. As an novice to the world of high end art, I think the little pictures help draw me into that world, but still not enough to arrest me. Not brilliant but not bad for a summer read.The simple, unadorned style of writing contrast the elaborate, extravagant subject of the world of fine art.

It is better than anticipated. I must admit my own misconceptions about Hip Hop and its larger culture. I still don't believe I understand it fully, but at least I can appreciate that I do not. JayZ uses his lyrics and creativity to highlight and poke fun at critics' misinterpretation of a world they have no real insight to.It is better than anticipated.

Funny, insightful and uplifting. The concept of finding one's true passion and its relations to success is not new, but this book presents it exceptionally well. I especially enjoyed his emphasis on creativity, which is often underplayed, if not stifled in our society. Real life examples from economist and cartoonist alike make it tangible and easy to relate to. Highly recommended.Funny, insightful and uplifting.
