Review # 1 was written on 2010-08-16 00:00:00 Haider Kazim I got this book with an intention to read something about diy interior design. But it was something from a completely different opera. The first half of the book was quite...crazy and wild with tips like cutting your sofa in half or make holes in a wall, or in general living in a perpetual mess which would be considered as denying the conventional rules etc. Not so tempting and I can't accept the fact that any dirty messy person is a punk shui fan... On the other hand, when I moved to the second half of the book that's when the goodness of this book opened up. The author approached many different topics of life with interesting and liberating suggestions how to change or alter it. And that's why I give four starts to this book (and take one away because of lack of good taste in design). I got this book from a library and it was so used and abused. Like a real messy punk shuist book. But I noticed that the second part of the book is very clean and tidy, probably nobody had a nerve to finish the book, and sadly, never reached the good part. I understand those people, I had that feeling of quitting this book so many times but I am glad I finished it. I won't become a punk shuist but I will definitely change some aspects of my lifestyle :)

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-18 00:00:00 Joshua Yarborough OK fair enough, we should control our surroundings and break out of the conformist cliches that govern our domestic lives and so on and so on... But pray tell, how in the hell is my daughter going to manage with a melted chair hanging from the wall, or a gigantic statue in the middle of the living room? Joke aside this book is an entertaining attempt at alternative home furnishing though I would hasten to say I am not going to go and rip my sofa into half with a chainsaw, no matter how punk it may sound and look. On the other hand, as someone who likes order in the house that I live in, I do not like the way the author just dumps everyone who doesn't like chaos in their homes as conformist and boring, and puts every slob into the box of cool and punk...
