In May 2012, bestselling author Neil Gaiman delivered the commencement address at Philadelphia's University of the Arts, in which he shared his thoughts about creativity, bravery, and strength. He encouraged the fledgling painters, musicians, writers, and dreamers to break rules and think outside the box. Most of all, he encouraged them to make good art. This book, designed by renowned graphic artist Chip Kidd, contains the full text of Gaiman's inspiring speech.--From publisher description.

I've seen the speech and like seeing it reading it will take about 20 minutes. It is funny, inspirational, and fantastic. I only had a problem with the graphic design. I expected more art. Sometimes the type was difficult to read either because of the size or the way it was presented. Otherwise, this speech has the same impact whether it is being heard or read.
Fun and inspirational
This is a great read. Short and inspirational. The only regret I have is that I got the Kindle version. It's clear they spent a lot of time on the layout and design, but it's hard to read and appreciate on Kindle.
I found this a bit hard to read. I haven't seen the speech but I have a feeling it will be more moving than just reading it.
