Another competently drawn coloring book but not one to get excited over. I guess I got what I paid for.

I've been wanting to try coloring again as an adult as I've recently heard so much about it being a relaxing activity, especially to help wind down in the evenings. I am really loving this book with its wide variety of designs. I love the suggestion to try oil pastels as well and plan to do that.

Waste of time a Password Protected PDF? WHY? IT's not that good!

The download link in the back of the book does work. It leads to a password protected PDF. Be sure to store the password in an easy to remember location, you will need it each time you want to look at this book, though after opening it and looking at it a second time (checking on password - should not need it for a second viewing. Try saving the pdf file as password v2color, that way you don't forget,

My 1st impression review follows, this did have 3 stars until I needed the password a second time and had to go looking for it, Locating my Kindle copy of the book, scrolling to the back and then using it to open the book. Honestly my first impressions were right, it's just not worth the bother especially with the childish password to open it. Not like the title of the coloring book was there to guide me as to which file on my computer was this particular coloring book. Foolishness in the extreme the PDF is called 'volume 2 pdf final.pdf' Almost as original as the so called art work.

BE sure to enter the password right away before you forget it, or you have a locked and useless PDF file on your computer - try finding the password next week when you might actually get around to using this.

If you have a child that likes coloring designs, they might benefit from this, basic simple designs, wallpaper samples, clip art reproductions, looks like a couple color de-saturated images. Over all simple basic entertainment for the kids.

As for anything for a discriminating adult, nothing here. I like designs with some artistically created intricacy to make the coloring activity interesting. Unhappily the images here lack any artistic merit or seemingly any creative talent to speak of. All very simple, basically repetitious.

If you can find nothing better, these will fill in a void, they will challenge your creativity, the author failed to include any, you are required to provide all artistic talent with these images.

I'll not bother printing any more than the sample I used for this review, some print well, others poorly. None able to capture my attention long enough to even think of getting out my coloring supplies.

The only to color the sheets is to print them out or maybe find a way to export the book to a paint program.
Really not worth the hassle

Some looked like grayscale photos

So the PDF link works, in theory. I was given the choice to download to Dropbox, or as a ZIP file. Since I wanted neither, I clicked it closed, but then a link to the PDF appeared on my screen, BUT, it is password protected! Honestly, I didn't really want to download them; they are a really strange assortment, and not my taste, at all. Lots of geometrics, some which look so tightly drawn (computer drawn) that it would be impossible to color them. Lots of pages are repetetive patterns, others are shapes (a bird, a butterfly, a feather, etc) which are filled with computer generated patterns. Some looked like grayscale photos. And some weird playing card drawings, all Ace cards, but with pictures of Queens on them (?). Just a very ODD group, but nothing that inspired me enough to want to print it out and color it, and nothing that was really original.
