I have never lost my love to color, but am not artistic enough to draw or paint.  This is a grown-up way to enjoy that pastime and feel like you are doing something pretty.  I only dinged it a star for the price, as you can find different kinds of coloring books at Michael's for about $10.  The paper is good quality and the designs on opposite sides of the paper are compatible and different at the same time.  I'm learning how to shade, which I never did much of as a kid, and there are several youtube videos to help you do this better.
