Iltalukemisena luettu eskarilaiselle. Kirjassa kuvataan ihmisten maailmaa hauskasti ja oivaltavasti ulkopuolisen silmin ja eskarilainen tykkäsi arvuutella mistä on kyse. Myös Helsinkiä on kuvattu tavalla, joka herätti muistoja siellä joskus hetken asuneelle. Jokin suuri juoni jäi ehkä vähän puuttumaan, että olisi sen viidennen tähden ansainnut.

It's more a question of certain philosophy towards making, selection of tools and materials and how to be effective and finish things. While I don't really like self improvement books and wouldn't call this such, it gave me some ideas and I could extrapolate the lessons to outside of the original realm of physically making things and my guess is that some of the ideas might even work. I would say …

Having listened to the KLF as a kid and heard of some of the myths, this was a very interesting read/listen which was done as it should have been when it's about KLF and not your standard popular musician / band. Highly entertaining and at the same time very good food for thought.
