*Guardian*
The Shock of the New redone a la Bill Bryson . . . richly detailed
and highly entertaining
*Daily Telegraph on What Are You Looking At?*
Hugely accessible . . . writes about difficult things without
letting on that they are difficult
*Independent on Sunday on What Are You Looking At?*
A romp through art history and the creative mind ... full of
entertaining anecdote
*Guardian*
Gompertz doesn't have it in him to be boring. He clearly loves art
too much and his book ... succeeds as a short love letter to art.
The pictures are wonderful
*The Times*
