This was an interesting read, and it's short, but it's very academic. Images constantly inundate us, and this is an attempt to analyze those images and how we process them. There are examples to point out different kinds of images, how they differ, and how we think about and categorize all those images. I liked how the illustrations were used to explain the concepts.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

As much as I hate doing this, I've DNF'd not far into this one. I was anticipating something MUCH less dense and accessible for the layperson. The images are certainly beautiful, just not enough to make me read pages that are more academic than anecdotal or actionable.

I don't think this is completely the book's fault, it is more that we don't make the pair I thought we would. I'm not the intended audience for this, but still really appreciate the opportunity to experience Pete Szendy's writing.

Because I DNF'd, I will not be including my rating on Goodreads and am giving a 3 on NetGalley since we're forced to give a rating.

{Thank you bunches to NetGalley, Peter Szendy, and Verso Books for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!}
