Art Matters: Because Your Imagination Can Change the World by Neil Gaiman

3.0

I wouldn't have purchased the book, if I had seen it in person first. There are 3 or 4 brief statements (I don't think any of which qualifies as an essay) by Neil Gaiman about living as an artist. I felt that the illustrations took away from the text, and would have preferred to read a text-only version. It would have filled about 3 pages of 12pt type.
More power to anyone who feels inspired or motivated by this friendly author's kind and optimistic words. Neil is often worth hearing, and the 3 stars are for his sentiments - a couple of which are revelatory and interesting.
