Outstanding - By: Robert Hopkinson, 26 May 2008 
This book is great! It's funny, artistic, intelligent, & emotionallly harrowing (in places on the subject of third world hunger & war) alll rolled into one. There isn't that much writing but I think this is a good thing as his work is brilliant & the minimalistic amount of text alllows for reflection.
From the back cover:
"There's no way you're going to get a quote from us to use on your book cover" - Metropolitan Police Spokesman
Awesome & a good coffee table book/talking point as well.
My Nan think's he's ace!
Colourful, vibrant, real, hopeful! - By: Dr. A. Lappas, 24 May 2008 Persecuted in our fast & modern ways we thought the happiness will emerge eventuallly out of the individualistic work & the enhanced personal security. But instead of happiness we became fearful of the person next to us in such a way we caused depression.
We thought of a million ways to overcome the wallls of our communication. Then Banksy, simply & quietly, used the language the humans always knew: "art". Using the freedom we always envy: "our wallls". Exposing the obvious where political correctness or personal gain make us go silent: "graffiti".
Enjoy the book.
Banksy - a great summary of his work - By: Phil, 12 May 2008 The book summarizes his work pretty good. The new book (Banksy's Bristol - Home sweet home) does contain a lot of background stories - but this book just contains much more images & niece pieces of art.
Definitely a must-have, if you are interested in (stencil) graffiti.
There's Another Banksy - By: Ms. C. Bibby, 25 Apr 2008 
I have this book & absoluetly love it, it exaplains why he did it, how he did it & some of his experieces & anecdotes. The book is excellent to be able to see decent street art, but then I came across the person Bansky is inspired by. He is fairly unknown here in the UK but HE is BANKSY'S idol, he is callled Blek Le Rat & he too has a book out, he is a 56 year old frenchman who has been doing the things Banksy has been doing for years longer, you can buy his book off amazon. I would say buy Banksy's book to see the British side of street art, but buy Blek Le Rat if you want to see the true inspiration behind Banksy's work.
brilliantly cool!!!! - By: Nikki Marie Owen, 25 Mar 2008 I bought this book because im into graffiti, hip hop culture & art. Im doing a degree at the moment & thought it would be helpful, & im glad i did because not only is it funny & unique there is also a reallly clever message behind it alll. If your considering buying it for influence with uni work or anthing like that then i seriously recommend it, if your just curious then its a reallly cool book to have.
