is, by far, the strangest coloring book for adults that I have ever come across. The description on the back of this book asks '
confused yet?
' Why yes, yes, I am confused.
T
he drawings, simplistic in nature, won't be time consuming to color (unless you happen to be refining your shading skills and other coloring techniques). I also find myself with no desire to color the scantily-clad, busty, super hero meets pole dancer looking woman who appears on most pages.
T
he sayings that accompany the drawings are a little better than the drawings at least, though not by much. One attempt at a pearl of wisdom reads '
enjoy life, it's the best revenge.
' That may be, but I'm not enjoying this coloring book. In fact, my pencils have not even touched these pages. Give me a more traditional, wordless coloring book, full of intricate drawings of nature and wildlife any day!
