Simply Outstanding! - By: GS Minhas, 11 Aug 2008 
Banksy's Wall & Piece is simply an amazing collection of his graffiti art all across the UK & the world. His unique style has won him international acclaim to fame. His artwork is not just vandalism but sends out a political statement which is bold & isn't afraid to mention things we would otherwise keep quiet. I first heard Banksy on a news website when he created another piece of work & then visited his website banksy.com, & since then fallenin love with his work. The other day I came across the bookin a store & really enjoyed his collection of work. This is a must have book for any of those interested not justin art, but also those who have been shaped by the newsin recent years.
To be honest, I am not a massive fan of art, or graffiti either but this is totally different! 5 STARS well deserved!
Outstanding - By: Robert Hopkinson, 26 May 2008 This book is great! It's funny, artistic, intelligent, & emotionally harrowing (in places on the subject of third world hunger & war) all rolled into one. There isn't that much writing but I think this is a good thing as his work is brilliant & the minimalistic amount of text allows for reflection.
From the back cover:
"There's no way you're going to get a quote from us to use on your book cover" - Metropolitan Police Spokesman
Awesome & a good coffee table book/talking point as well.
My Nan think's he's ace!
Colourful, vibrant, real, hopeful! - By: Dr. A. Lappas, 24 May 2008 Persecutedin our fast & modern ways we thought the happiness will emerge eventually out of the individualistic work & the enhanced personal security. But instead of happiness we became fearful of the person next to usin such a way we caused depression.
We thought of a million ways to overcome the walls of our communication. Then Banksy, simply & quietly, used the language the humans always knew: "art". Using the freedom we always envy: "our walls". Exposing the obvious where political correctness or personal gain make us go silent: "graffiti".
Enjoy the book.
Banksy - a great summary of his work - By: Phil, 12 May 2008 The book summarizes his work pretty good. The new book (Banksy's Bristol - Home sweet home) does contain a lot of background stories - but this book just contains much more images & niece pieces of art.
Definitely a must-have, if you are interestedin (stencil) graffiti.
There's Another Banksy - By: Ms. C. Bibby, 25 Apr 2008 
I have this book & absoluetly love it, it exaplains why he did it, how he did it & some of his experieces & anecdotes. The book is excellent to be able to see decent street art, but then I came across the person Bansky is inspired by. He is fairly unknown herein the UK but HE is BANKSY'S idol, he is called Blek Le Rat & he too has a book out, he is a 56 year old frenchman who has been doing the things Banksy has been doing for years longer, you can buy his book off amazon. I would say buy Banksy's book to see the British side of street art, but buy Blek Le Rat if you want to see the true inspiration behind Banksy's work.
