I'm not sure if it counts to say I read this book but I did go through every single page of it. It's not just a colouring book, it's a piece of art which is why I love it so much. While I could easily draw out all these pictures and colour them, it's so much more fun to look at all these pictures in detail and then choose whatever colours and style I want to add. I think this book it's tons of fun and I'd recommend it to anyone even if you aren't an artist. Everyone can have fun with this book.

My only complaint was that some pictures span two pages and it's really hard to colour in the crack of the book. Most pages are fine but the really cool ones do this and it bothers me that I can't colour all the white space. It's worth the buy either way.
