Very well written, but so many short essays eventually began to feel tedious. So much of it was about images, so it took me a long time to get through--I felt like I needed the internet handy at all times to fully comprehend the text, because I needed to search for different photos the author was referring to. I also assumed there'd be more of a theme, but this reads more like the collected articles of the author. It wasn't bad but it wasn't what I was expecting.
