Thank you NetGalley and ABRAMS for providing this ARC in exchange of an honest review
Actual rating: 3.5/5
A truly unique book with lots of great ideas and beautiful illustrations. I have never seen any work of author [a:Grant Snider|5198410|Grant Snider|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1498058591p2/5198410.jpg] before. I went to reading this without too much expectations. But it was too good for the first time read of the author.
The books has been divided into 10 different categories: Inspiration, Perspiration, Improvisation, Aspiration, Contemplation, Exploration, Daily frustration, Imitation, Desperation and Pure Elation. Each part has its own set of comics to illustrate ideas. My favourite was The nature of ambition under Aspiration.
Each concept has been depicted very clearly and cleverly. This is really an inspirational book for all the creative people. They can get very much from it. The illustrations are too effective and they got you thinking that even illustrations can be so effective.
