Simon Drew's sense of humour is an acquired taste - it may be a moot point whether it is worth acquiring,yet thousands of fans around the world have clearly already succumbed to its questionable attractions. These converts will clearly appreciate this new and puzzling collection of nonsensical puzzles.This is a book to exasperate and annoy: the only way to solve the puzzle drawings is either to start with a warped mind or put yourself through gymnastic mental contortions that your mind ends up warped and twisted as a result.The existing Drew devotees should find no problem with this.Simon Drew has done it again! This,his sixth title of nonsense words,verse and drawings,is another imaginative look at life (this time Art with a capital A) from any angle but the expected. The sheer delight of this mischievous and inventive foray into knocking convention off its pedestal lies not only in Drew's clever use of language, but also in his meticulous and hilarious illustrations.No one and nothing is spared,from Bacon to da Vinci,Dali to Van Gogh.Shakespeare becomes an Emmnetal cheese,Rodin's 'The Kiss' a session at the dentist (among other possibilities),while Michelangelo's David and Venus de Milo. . . .well . . . . read on! If you have not as yet dipped into the pages of Simon Drew's books,now is the time to give it a try - you will either hate them or love them.
