hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

There was a lot I liked in this book, but as soon as I thought Odell was really hitting on something and teasing it out, she lost me. There are many interesting threads that she simply dropped by bringing in some random non sequitur. 

That being said, I did love her exploration of David Hockney and the video he made unravelling a Chinese scroll (which I got to see at a Dutch museum a few years ago :).
