enuff

He Rocks, the book will change you
It was just what I ordered, came just as it said it would, and was so well written, he is my new Hero.

Not what I expected, But not Disappointing
Though the pagecount may seem misleading considering some pages only contain a line or two of text, the book is a 7 x 6 installation piece as well as a good read. The text seems to act as a character throughout the book due to it's continuously interesting style and placement as well as it's ability to mimic the emotion invoked in the poem. A must have for anyone who enjoys new art and isn't afraid of deep thoughts.

amazing
