The photo essays are a bit confusing - partially it's because the pictures are small so you can't get a good idea of each picture and compare/think through similarities/differences. Like it's cool that they gave you a set of pictures with no words and yeah I pondered on them a bit but I'd have loved to see their opinions too because I'm a complete idiot and that's what I buy books for. I just don't feel they work so well. I felt sometimes that it used a few jargon words without any definition and although it's quite possible to guess what they mean it makes it a bit more off-putting as an introduction than it could be. It's not too bad though, so don't let it put you off reading it.
Ultimately the negatives are no big deal though. It's short and doesn't go into huge detail but that's the nature of an introduction. It has a great incisive style that cuts to the heart of what's going on pretty often. With the caveat mentioned above about the few jargon words, I recommend reading it. It's radical and will give you a lot of ideas. ( )
