Review title: Entertaining but slightly irritating
Product review: After reading a positive review of this book in the Wall Street Journal I went straight to Amazon and ordered it. Ultimately the book really is very entertaining (I especially liked what he did to Heidegger in chapter 7) and quite informative, but also a little cloying. For people who hate what art critisism has become (and I count myself among them) this book is their anthem but at a certain point I got tired of the smug self-satisfied tone of the author. Yes, I get it -- your clever. You have clever things to say. Goodie for you. But could we focus more on the issues and be a little less self-congradulatory in our one liners? In the end I recommend this book unreservedly for people who know about art and those who don't -- it's definitely worth reading, but maybe in the next book Kimball could take it down a notch.
