yep, that's right, i just read something in book form that's available in full on the interwebs. i figured it would be nice to read in print, and also up my yearly "# of books read" goal.
really enjoyed the speech, but UGH on the design. it was like trying to read a static upworthy text video. which i effing hate anyways, so whatever.
some of the colors were hard to read, and the design itself was rather simplistic and kind of boring. i also dislike when words are split in half/hyphenated to go on another line - i understand it for academic studies, for newspapers, etc. - but for a 2 line quote in the middle of a page? just adjust your spacing, for god's sake!! it makes no sense in being there and breaks up the word for no REAL good reason. it takes me out of the words, makes me think about the design too much, and then i hate you. UGH.

The speech is good and so in the graphic style of this "book"!

Why do I always cry when I read Gaiman? There is just something about his work, the way he writes. The passion, the joy, the pain, the emotion in every line. There is no other writer like him. That's the point.
Full review, with quotes, to come.

Whoever you are, whatever you do, this is worth the hour it takes to read.
