Oh the Colors!

Well, I think visually this piece is pretty awesome. The author did an amazing job creating a flow of words--not just the words themselves but literally how they flow on the page. I liked that some pages seemed to pool and coagulate while others were a heavy stream down the page. They really grab the eye and lead the reader where to go along the page. (At some points, the author has white lines attaching certain collections of words, which helps keep the hectic pages really organized. I really liked that.) I also really loved the colors. They seemed water-colored, each hue blurring into the next. It's fantastic. The most gripping pages to me corresponded to some of the most colorful ones. I liked that they were bright and gripping and forced the reader to pay attention to them. You could see them coming up on the queue while reading and it got me really excited.

The only downside of this project was that some pages just didn't seem to have a point, purpose, or interest to me. But I guess that's to be expected in such a large work.
