Book Reviews of Learning to Love You More
Book Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
What an excellent book! It's every emotion ever. It's a window to the world and compassion.Book Review: Sweet and inspiring
Summary: 4 Stars
Miranda July is great! This book invites us to create more art, in ways that connect us more to each other. Her movie and short story collections are also really beatiful.Book Review: Good if Repetitive Overview
Summary: 3 Stars
Good overview of the "learningtoloveyoumore.com" project. I like the initiative based on the idea of making a public project, one that crowdsources the activity and gathers it under a common umbrella. Unfortunately the process seems to be dedicatedly repetitive, and while some of the approaches to domesticity are quite commendable they seem to offer a single point of entry and run from whimsical to predictable, to the point that one hopes that the initiative will go elsewhere or offer a new approach and commentary, but it doesn't.
What the book contains is mostly present at the website, and new proposals, and possible critical approaches may happen there. Unless, one has an intrinsic interest to have the project documented in book form it feels far more relevant to leave it aside and resort to the website, or to other projects that are daring to go beyond the stopping point of Learning to Love you More. It still remains an important initiative and it is useful to have it recorded in one volume although I feel it could be expanded more richly.
Book Review: Some of the most beautiful artwork ever created (but easy available online)
Summary: 3 Stars
The thing is, this book is merely a collection of some responses to the assignments online. It is nice to have a physical item connected to the work, but its kindof an interesting question... isn't the whole project partly about online communities? So, everything you can find in the book you can find online. I'm giving it three stars, though, because LTLYM is one of the most beautiful creative ventures I've ever beheld. Unfortunately I think Miranda July has since sold out a bit - notice the pricey pillow cases FOR SALE on her website... just sad.Book Review: Pretty but not functional
Summary: 3 Stars
There were some interesting submissions included in the book, but this book doesn't really contain any content. Much more of a "picture" book.
