Title: Your Action World: Winners Are Losers With a New Attitude by David Byrne ISBN: 0-8118-2623-6 Publisher: Chronicle Books Pub. Date: December, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.95 |

Summary: "surreal"
Comment: There's not much to be said for the American imagination if it finds books such as this "challenging". I think "elliptical" would be a better defintion than "surreal". David Byrne has fashioned an interesting book that will not take up too much of anyone's time, which I suspect may be part of its 'raison d'etre'. It's bright, colourful, and printed on heavy stock - so heavy you may find it separating from the spine of the cover. All the dots are there, you just have to do the connecting.

Summary: A book for the surreal thinker
Comment: People who buy this book should realize that what they are buying is a visual essay with sub-titles...not a piece of lengthy literature. That is not to imply that this book isn't any good. It's actually very thought provoking for people who actually think! The book is loaded with photos and illustrations juxtaposed with BRIEF TEXT. The goal of the book is to offer a surreal opinion about the moral and emotional motivations in our society. It's also poking a very accusing finger at the advertising world.
If you're the kind of person who can solve this equation 5 + X =10, then chances are you have the mental abilities to fill in the blanks and produce the message that Byrne is trying to communicate. But if you're the kind of person who needs the message spelled out to you, then chances are you won't enjoy this book. Simply stated, this book is like looking at a piece of art..."some imagination required."
Rating: 5
Summary: Inspirational
Comment: Brilliant...like a month's worth of dreams captured in color. It must've been very expensive to print, and it shows. Usually after buying books of this nature, I read through them once and put them down for...well, years, sometimes. But this one has kept my attention for the month since it arrived; I find myself looking to it at least once a day for inspiration.
David Byrne's mind is fascinating. Hopefully, it will be preserved in a space-jar or something for future generations.
