Banksy Locations and Tours: A Collection of Graffiti Locations and Photographs in London - Martin Bull

Advantages: Strong views, makes you think.
Disadvantages: None

...quite a lot, everyone would say how clever, amazing, funny, unique and original he is, but I couldn't comment. Having seen only a few of his pieces, my mind was set and I had to buy this book! I went to London for the day, and I saw it at £10, I think it may have been £15, but even the higher price is worth it. Being able to own a gallery of his work, and reading his views and witty comments is definitely priceless. The mystery around Banksy is no one knows who he is, except obviously the people who help him. Any photo with him in it doesn't show his face, because of course this is graffiti, and as I mentioned, it's stereotypical category is crime. Wall and Piece The front cover shows one of his pieces, what looks like a man with a vicious expression throwing a petrol bomb, is actually a man throwing a bouquet of flowers... Read review

Advantages: amazeing to read
Disadvantages: no majour issues, just a few minor ones you can deal with

...This is an amazing book, full of his art work, that you are able to read over and over again.He has an amazing sense of humour which comes through in his artwork. But there are a few small down sides to it, the photos in the book aren't the best quality and the book is a bit pricey, i picked mine up for £13.99, but it is still worth every penny. Banksy is an artistic genius and deserves every bit of credit for his pictures. People that are trying to say this is graffiti and that it should be removed are insane, his art is not an eye sore, it brightens up blank walls, and gives you something to admire on the streets of London. He is a true British icon.... Read review

Advantages: really interesting book, very inspirational
Disadvantages: may not suit young children and specific to certain intrests

...This book is very inspirational and after reading it fills your mind with ideas and creation. I bought this book not long ago and since i haven't put it down. I call it a book but to me its more like a gallery. Banksy expresses very political views by doing stencil art in some of the main cities of the u.k such as London and Liverpool. This book simply takes you on a journey through his work. The book documents his work in gallery's and current projects hes working on. If you like graffiti art then this book may be for you. The book twists political views in a way nothing else could and suggest us to think in other ways. Banksy witty character that is never exposed remains mysterious and this book displays his thoughtful artwork.... Read review
