Over the last 10 years the line between culture and counterculture has turned into a zone, and that zone is graf, shorthand for a subculture that produces graffiti, art, fashion, and design. Scrawl Too: More Dirt is a rich collection, maybe even a sourcebook, of all of these manifestations, marked by strong lines, active forms, architectural presentations, and small but numerous interventions that have coalesced into an entire young urban aesthetic. While the more familiar graf may have been absorbed into commerce to the point that it is unmoving (such as the Obey stencils from New York), the work from Japan and Australia is stunning, and there is more of it here than in the book's predecessor. The images are lush and compelling in themselves, but they are equally significant in their selection. --Juliette Cezzar

One of the best graffiti surveys availiable........2003-06-30
There are a lot of graffiti art books on the market that don't capture the essence of street graphics. They either fixate on a certain style or get caught up in an outdated romanticism of the tagger figure. 'Scrawl Too' is an awesome, beautiful book featuring bombs from all over the world and scores of contemporary graffiti artists.
I got the sense that each of the featured artists has a self-awareness of the state of graffiti art in the market culture. Barry McGee has developed an iconography that captures pathos, suffering, indifference, and humor. Obey Giant emphasizes and parodies the ubiquitousness of corporate logos and has developed a brand more based on 'street cred' than market trends. (Or gives the appearance of doing so anyway). The book also focuses on smaller scale bombs and tags and in doing so a pattern emerges. Most of the pieces seem to be a reaction to the near-loss of urban spaces, both public and private to (mostly)gentrification and a dying connection between the people that inhabit them.
Book Description
MAKEOVER OF THE CENTURY
It’s a gorgeous, spacious mansion, and four handsome, fifteen-year-old friends are allowed to live in it for free! There’s only one condition–that within three years the guys must transform the owner’s wallflower niece into a lady befitting the palace in which they all live! How hard can it be?
Enter Sunako Nakahara, the agoraphobic, horror-movie-loving, pockmark-faced, frizzy-haired, fashion-illiterate recluse who tends to break into explosive nosebleeds whenever she sees anyone attractive. This project is going to take more than our four heroes ever expected: it needs a miracle!

Fresh and Different.......2007-06-13
After reading through the other reviews I thought there wasn't too much to add, but . . .
I had to say something about the art. The art is extremely different. The author bases her characters on real Japanese musicians and due to this the characters actually look Japanese. Not a single character falls under the perfect looking, big eyed, shojo character that this type of work is prone to (think Fullmoon, anything by Yuu Watase). Due to this the art may be off putting to some. I think it is beautiful and completely original.
The only downside to the art is that Sunako (the main character) is usually drawn as a simple cartoon. When she is drawn she is beautiful and it makes you wish the author drew her like this more often. Also, the backgrounds are extremely sparse and sometimes there is nothing at all.
The plot lines (I have up to volume 11) are somewhat episodic (but there are cliffhangers), but it works. It feels like you're getting snipets of the life that the four boys and Sunako have together and their interactions. Plus, this is a truly funny book. Sunako tries to kill people, Kyohei is constantly being kidnapped or abused, Ranmaru has dated every women in the tristate area, and so on. There really is nothing like it.
All in all, if you want something funny, fresh, and original give this series a shot. Just know that you'll have to be patient to get the next vol. New works come out quarterly.
for unusual tastes.......2007-02-28
the description doesn't do it justice; it comes off sounding like another coming-of-age girly story(which i guess it is but in a fantastic weird way). I give it five stars but with a few draw backs.
The good:
the most hilarious story i've read. i've never laughed so hard; Sunako is just awesome and completely different than the squealing girly mold of most shoujos. The leading lady is a horror obsessed recluse thrust into the light of four normal, handsome boys. The artwork ranges from mostly cute, funny chibi form to incredible beautiful artwork (mostly when Sunako is pissed or dressed up). There are some actual real poignant points in the manga. One scene that that i enjoyed was in the middle of 'turning Sunako into a lady' Sunako sits in her room surrounded by her horror comforts and asks Jason 'if they took away your mask and your chainsaw and made you be something you aren't what you would you do, Jason?' or something to that extent.
A couple of bad points:
though i'm going to get flamed for this the leading four men are waaaay too girly. Kyohei looks like a woman. Look at the front cover! If you didn't know any better you'd think it's a woman. I had a lot of trouble seperating the boys because they pretty much looked alike. Though the general thought is unique and funny there isn't a lot of go power for this manga. the slapstick gets old fast and starts to meander and looses the plot thread. you could read the first manga and be satisfied without reading the rest, i mean you can pretty much guess how it will end.
so. buy the first one and enjoy a laugh.
Refreshing. . ........2007-02-03
Calling Sunako Nakahara morbid is a huge understatement. She enjoys watcher slasher flicks and scary movies, her best friends are anatomical dolls Hiroshi-kun and Akira-kun, and she has black curtains in her room to keep out the sun-light. It's easy to say that she would be happy living in darkness for the rest of her life. However, Sunako's aunt, a flighty but rich woman, is worried about her niece, Sunako used to be `normal', she used to care about things like beauty and fashion and Ms. Nakahara doesn't like the new, dark Sunako, because frankly, she's a little scary. Ms. Nakahara strikes a deal with 4 incredibly handsome boys, if they can turn Sunako into a real lady; they can live at her super posh mansion rent free for 3 years. How is Sunako supposed live with 4 men so attractive, so `bright' that she has a nosebleed (in Japan, it's said that nosebleeds are caused by lust) each time one comes too close?
On the flipside, Kyohei, Yuki, Takenaga, and Ranmaru are forced to live with a girl so scary that they are still not quite sure if she's real or a ghost, and what's more, how can they teach her to be a lady? The first day they meet her and realize that they have a huge problem on their hands: Sunako appears in an old, stained, sweatshirt, an ugly skirt and hair that covers her face, it was remarked that she looked like the girl from `The Ring'. Having never met a girl who could resist their charms, the group is determined not to be fazed by her fearsome façade.
The series, although unrealistic, is hilarious. Each of the male protagonists adds their own style of humor: Ranmaru, a notorious lady killer with so many women he must loose count, is always the one hitting on women and is often used when a parody of a corny love scene is needed. Takenaga is the intellectual who, next to Kyohei, is the best at coping with Sunako's dark side. In the beginning, he was the only person that could see inside Sunako's room. Yuki is the cute one and also the one most disturbed by Sunako and her love for horror, he normally cries after prolonged contact with her because she will do something disturbing. Kyohei is the most attractive, lead the hardest life and as a result is the toughest of the four. Kyohei is stubborn and rude; he fights with Sunako on a regular basis and he is the only one that can keep her under some form of control.
It was easy to get confused in the beginning because Tomoko Hayakawa draws Sunako in half-chibi form (Sort of small and cartoon like) and Sunako looked like she was 12 years old to me. As the series progresses Sunako gets smaller and rounder until she is in full fledged chibi mode, the author explains her reasons for this in book 2 or 3. You rarely get to see Sunako as her true self but when you do she is either incredibly beautiful or disturbingly threatening, which ever is more appropriate to the plot. The artwork is magical, with the right touch of darkness surrounding Sunako and exploding light around Kyohei and his friends. There are scenes with Kyohei and Sunako together that are so beautiful and intricately drawn it's easy to become spellbound; you can practically feel their emotions radiating off of the page. The series is very goth, but it's entertaining enough that anyone can read it.
The Verdict:
Beautiful art paired with hilarious characters and dialog makes this series one you should not pass up. It is such a relief to read a shoujo manga that dares to break the mold! A+
I love, love, love this manga series!.......2006-11-24
I was introduced to The Wallflower one day at anime club after school. We were having "manga day" at the club meeting that day where we all bring in a couple of our own manga and share them with other people in the club, then we spend the meeting reading the borrowed manga and being intriduced to new series. I had seen a few ads for The Wallflower in other manga I had read and was intrigued so it was a nice surprise to see that a girl in anime club had brought in the first three volumes. My best friend, who is also in the club, and I wear black frequently (okay, about every day) so we're kind of the "goth girls" in the club, although I will admit that I do not consider myself one. But because of our reputation, the girl told me that this series was perfect for me because it featured a soft-of gothic girl named Sunako. Intrugued, I borrowed the manga from her and started reading.
I instantly fell in love with this series. Four EXTREMELY hot, teenage guys named Kyohei (the obnoxious bad boy), Takenaga (the cold intellectual), Ranmaru (the womanizer), and Yuki (the sweetest guy you'll ever meet) are all living in a boarding house together. These boys are completely broke, so when the landlady tells them that if they make her neice into a lady she will allow them to live at the boarding house for free for three years they are definitely up for the challenge.
Of course, Sunako turns out to be nothing like they expected. She spends all of her time inside her dark room watching slasher films with her anatomical models, Hiroshi-kun and Akira-kun, and her skeleton Josephine. She's grown her bangs so long that no one can see her face and she scares almost everyone who sees her. She doesn't like being around the four boys (or "creatures of the light," as she calls them) and does her best to avoid them, breaking out into nosebleeds whenever she gets too close to them.
It's a fun series full of comedy, action, twisted schemes, and sticky situations. The creator, Tomoko Hayakawa is an amazing artist and has a gift of creating the best characters and wonderfully entertaining stories. Each new manga brings new adventures for the characters as the guys try hard to turn Sunako away from her dark life full of gorey movies and fashion mistakes and Sunako tries harder to keep that from happening. You can really see the evolution of the characters as the series continues and each new adventure is better than the last. Since discoering this manga I've introduced it to tons of other people and they've all become hooked on it. My own copy of the first volume has been borrowed by people about a dozen times (people borrow my manga so much that I think I should start charging them...). I totally recommend this for anyone who enjoys the darker things in life and/or shojo manga.
Freaky-Funny-Wallflower.......2006-05-07
This has got to be the funniest manga series I have ever read. The four hottest guys in Japan have a dilemma- they can get free rent to stay at this amazing western mansion, but only if they can turn Sunako, the landlady's niece, into a `lady'. Yeah, right. Sunako is obsessed with horror, blood, gore, and whenever she sees an attractive person (or 'Creature of the Light' as she calls them) she gets a nosebleed! When most people see her they think she is a ghost. Its hilarious and fantastic series!
Book Description
Whether you lust after it, loathe it, or feign apathy toward it, fame is in your face. Cintra Wilson gets to the heart of our humiliating fascination with celebrity and all its preposterous trappings in these hilarious, whip-smart, and subversive essays. Often radical and always a scream, Wilson takes on every sacred cow, toppling icons as diverse as Barbra Streisand, Ike Turner, Michael Jackson, and-for obvious reasons-Bruce Willis. She exposes events like the Oscars and even athletic jamborees as having grown a "tumescent aura of Otherness." Wilson's scathing and irresistible dissections of Las Vegas as "the Death Star of Entertainment," and Los Angeles as "a giant peach of a dream crawling with centipedes" pulse with her enlightened rejection of all things false and vain and egotistical. Written with her trademark zeal and intelligence, A Massive Swelling is the antidote for the fame virus that infects us all.

The Definitive Snarky Pop-Culture Bible.......2006-08-07
If you have a love-hate relationship with our celebrity culture, this is a book you must read. Both grudgingly admiring and sharply critical, this book discusses our fascination with celebrities in an always hilarious and sometimes even enlightening way. Topics discussed include Michael Jackson, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, the allure of boybands, plastic surgery, eating disorders, drugs, Tina Turner, rock n roll, and Bruce Willis. Every chapter is funny and insightful. And come on, doesn't any book with the subtitle: "Celebrity Re-Examined as a Grotesque Crippling Disease" deserve your $10?
Highly recommended.
Spot-On Commentary on our celebrity-obsessed culture.......2005-10-11
This is a book that sorely needed to be written. It may be several years old, but it was new to me.
With a piercing wit and a sharp tongue, Cintra Wilson cuts down to size some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities. The result is both funny and sad at the same time. Funny, because it's always entertaining to see the rich and famous make fools of themselves in the pursuit of even greater fame, power and money.
And sad, because it's pathetic to see the extent to which some of these people are willing to debase themselves in order to maintain their status once they become rich and famous, especially those that have questionable talent to begin with. Even sadder is the fact that masses of people all over the world idolize them.
With their self-indulgent behavior often disguised from the public or cloaked under a veil of piousness (i.e, Ethan Hawke, Tom Hanks) Wilson reveals how some of liberal Hollywood's biggest names are about as morally bankrupt as the staunchest right-wing conservative.
What makes this book carry even more weight with me is the fact that it was written by someone who describes herself as being "about as liberal as they come". But Wilson's commentary is far and above the type of one-sided and one-dimensional whining about Hollywood and the "media elite" one gets from the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Bill Bennett, and other purveyors of right-wing bile.
[Aside: I once saw Bill Bennett walking in downtown Washington, DC; the man's belly was the size of three pregnant women combined. I mean, it was just enormous; someone needs to tell him that gluttony is no virtue (and neither is gambling, for that matter...he he :-)].
But back to my review...
In a few cases, Wilson details specific incidents of outrageous or attention-seeking behavior on the part of certain celebrities, identifying the person by name - Barbara Streisand, Keeanu Reeves, Cher, Courtney Love, Celine Dion, Michael Jackson (Dion and Jackson receive a particularly delicious skewering).
But in other instances, she refers to "a celebrity who shall remain nameless". For example, I would love to know the name of the ogre who for no reason at all drew a gun and shot someone's watch. I wondered why some of them were named while others not. (Threat of lawsuits would be my guess).
Predictably, some of the celebrities' bad behavior involves sexual improprieties. In fact, the book is filled with accounts of people who have literally prostituted themselves for fame.
My one (and very slight) criticism of "A Massive Swelling" has to do with Wilson's writing style, which can only be described as idiosyncratic. She has a tendency to write in run-on sentences, which require several re-readings to understand. However, this is a small complaint and it in no way diminishes the value--and timeliness--of this hilariously entertaining book.
Hip and hilarious prophecy.......2005-06-02
Hip and hilarious pop culture uber-critic, Cintra Wilson, traces the imagery of the last 25 years of American celebrity icons to illustrate the emotionally warping effects of the desire for fame. Wilson takes on Michael Jackson and the fading stars of the Vegas strip to show the disastrous consequences of an unbridled need for public attention and adulation. She compares the rock music of earlier generations to the fly-by-night pop stars of the last 20 years to illustrate how corporate marketing of the arts has drained them of their soul and genuine sexual potency in favor of product endorsement and marketability, however short-lived and disingenuous.
This obssession with appearances-over-content is most evident in Hollywood's current fervor for plastic surgery, now so ubiquitous it's hard to find examples of real bodies undergoing the real aging process. Naturally this affects women more than men as large-breasted supermodels are juxtaposed with petite, ever-virginal female athletic competitors and the spectre of the female form on display in beauty pageants.
However, this is not a feminist diatribe against objectification nor an intellectual's disgust with the banality of America's pop culture tastes (though Wilson is indisputably both a feminist and an intellectual). Wilson's voice serves as something of a moral prophet, condemning both the twisted values of the privileged and of their worshipful consumers. Narcissism and self-loathing (a combination Wilson epitomizes with the likes of Bruce Willis, Barbra Streisand, and Woody Allen) are the hubris of a culture in which one gets fame by being famous (i.e. marketable) rather than by having done anything noteworthy.
Wilson concludes by showing the negative influence of fame on the arts themselves. Since money now instills value and fame has become its own reason for existence, the traditional cathartic purposes of art have been lost almost completely. People seek simply to be entertained rather than to exorcise the truth of the human experience in the relative safety of artistic pursuits. The tragic result is what Wilson astutely calls an audience "now so empty and well trained and schlock-addicted that it is indeed moved by these fatty theatrical dry humps and keeps coming back".
like Tarantino swallowed the Oxford English Dictionary..........2005-04-01
this book is not without its faults. I must admit feeling like a pervert signing it out at the local library thanks to the title and cover picture. Wilson has talent--there's no debating that. At times her prose sparkles with brilliant wit and insight, the cumulative effect being a knife-job on her deserving targets. But she never digs deep enough to get really intimate, relying more on a cursory glance and quick synopsis of a plethora of topics within our diseased societal attraction to celebrity and other issues. Perhaps she knows the topic too well and the plastic world she surveys becomes a part of the style and substance of the story she describes.
The prose in spots is unbeatable but let me express one caveat: Wilson often indulges in description ad nauseam and there are enough capitalized words here to do serious damage to the trachea of a hippopotamus. Strunk and White would probably suffer immediate apoplexy upon reading three sentences. The ending goes into a self-help rant for those needing a final kick between the eyes to really get the message home. In short, 5 stars for the spots of great writing and originality; 3 stars for the bad writing (editor needed) and aftertaste.
One of the funniest, most biting books ever........2005-01-13
This is pure comedy. And pure satire. Cintra Wilson's writing is at once warm and cutting. Her plunge into celebrity culture is illuminating, disturbing and highly entertaining. This is great reading, and you'll want to return to it over and over again. Highly recommended.

Great book on a great Director.......2006-09-30
This book is one of those few that is so hard to put down. It was a fasinating look at the Bond movies,and the faces behind them. I had no idea that the budgets of the movies were so low.(as compared to other action films) This book took me in,and I would recommend it to any fan of film,especially James Bond films!
Definitely a must-have for any Bond fan.......2006-02-01
John Glen directed the five 007 films which basically span the entire decade of the 1980s: For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights, and License to Kill. He was also involved with previous 007 films such as Moonraker, The Spy Who Loved Me, and numerous other British films going back to the 60s. This book is a collection of behind the scenes stories from the making of Glen's films, but with special emphasis on the Bond films. Most Bond fans know the plot details inside and out, so what makes this book interesting is the story and script development, shooting location stories, and cast and crew details. The only downside to the book is I wish there was MORE of everything...more stories, more photos, etc. This is a highly entertaining book if you are a 007 fan, particularly from the Roger Moore - Timothy Dalton era.
Bond Only Bond.......2005-10-09
This is a valuable book for the inside track on the Bond films. Director John Glen did a good job. His services will be greatly missed unless they get him back. After reading this book perhaps the producers should get John Glen back.
A Must Have for All James Bond Fans.......2001-11-14
Director John Glen tells of his experience with the James Bond film series strait up. At the helm of five of the films as director Glen pulls no punches and offers great insight into the creative efforts of the whole Bond film team. This is a great book and even more so if you are a James Bond fan. I really like this book. There is really no gloss here. This is really about what went into making these films while Albert R. Broccoli was still alive and producing them. I highly recommend this book.

May Lead to Pain, Bleeding, Puritus, Discharge, and Enlightenment .......2006-01-18
I've burned through the Sip & Solve Sudoku book, and I felt ready to move on to the Sit & Solve Hard Sudokus. Despite the humorous gimmick of the cover, however, I don't actually work on these puzzles while on the commode. If that was to be my preferred mode of Sudok'ing, I think I would have to return to doing the light and easy puzzles. This is because, and I would be remiss if I didn't point this out, my medical understanding is that sitting on the toilet and straining for excessive periods of time is thought to produce hemorrhoids. I'm not sure if this applies to straining because of constipation or the mental strain of doing a hard sudoku, but I'm not taking any chances. However, should you not heed my warning, I would recommend minimizing the itching and pain of hemorrhoids by avoiding trauma and irritation to the surrounding skin tissue. Avoid excessive use of harsh toilet paper, minimize secondary irritation or dermatitis by avoiding soaps and creams. Just keep the perianal skin clean with water from a shower and try to avoid secondary yeast or parasitic infections. In the event that greater soiling of the anal skin occurs secondary to chronic diarrhea or loose stools, I recommend a non-scented petrolatum gel or hemorrhoidal cream.
All that being said, I love Sudoku, and would gladly suffer the pain and indignity of even a massively prolapsed hemorrhoidal vein if that was the price necessary. Sudoku brings me great joy, fills my belly well, fills my porous head with honey, keeps my spirits high and lemon-scented throughout the day.
Good sudokus, I recommend this book, I would call them medium-hard, nice format for ripping out pages and sneaking them into notebooks for sudok'ing during lectures.

Very Informative.......2006-08-01
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and appreciated John's candor and willingness to share methods to achieve profitablity in trading.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn a methodology
of trading using candlestick formations and pivot points.
This was a dissapointing read..........2006-06-23
I agree with a couple of posts that say this is a very basic book, and that most of the information could be found for free on the internet. I would go as far as to say that some information would be better if read on the internet.
The examples about pivots (the key part of the book), one chart after another were not easy to follow. The section on TA was woefully lacking. The author has a section on Gann theory, and more or less advises to go buy the book that Gann wrote. As it turns out, there is some pretty rich information about Gann on the web.
My biggest pet peeve about this book were the continual subliminal references (advertisements) to the author's subscription based website. Besides that, I did not like the blatent plugging of the people who praised his book on the back cover. It's okay for an author to put their website on the back of the book. If the information stands on it's own then I can go to the website to learn more. What's not cool is to give vauge trading strategies, then give some glowing account of how your subscription newsletter called the shots.
I did give the book two stars, which means I wasn't totally dissapointed. He does stress a couple of good points regarding pivots, but it's all pretty basic beginner stuff.
An excellent Forex trading book.......2005-08-31
This book is very easy to read and follow a lot of concepts the author has mentioned. It provides a very good trading guidelines about how to make a trading decision based on the pivot point calculation and candlestick charting technique. If you know a little bit of candlestick charting, you would enjoy this book very much. In addition, it warns the traders to utilize other technical indicators as well. The more technical indicators support your conclusion, the better of placing a successful trade in the spot market. As you know every technique has some pitfalls. The author mentions that "Once in a while you will lose your shirt, but do not lose your pants because the money is in the wallet.". A very true statement. The trader always tries to survive for the next trading opportunity. I have started incorporating a lot of concepts in my trading decisions. I would encourage every trader to read this book. Learning is the ultimate way of surviving in this very volatile market.
A Great Book for Forex Trading.......2005-06-02
The technical tactics and techniques described in this book have already helped me to start making a profit in forex trading on a more consistent basis.
This book's explanation on how to place orders and the different types are the best I've read so far.
Pivot Points used in conjunction with Candlesticks is what I have been using to trade currencies and so far the results have been very satisfying. Thank you Mr Person for writing this most excellent book!
Excellent Study Course.......2005-03-16
John Person provides an excellent overview of necessary trading tools. I learned a great deal from his book and his seminars. The best part about his book is that he is a trader by profession and the information he provides he utilizes. This book is a must have for traders interested in increasing their consistency and profits from trading
