So, the guy writing this says right off it's not meant to unmask Banksy. I would ask, "Why keep using a name for him, then? Why not just insert 'Banksy'?" So, that was a bit distracting and disappointing.Clarke says he intends to show Banksy's soul. Well, he did accomplish that, I think, through the anecdotes he gives. Well-done on that score.The quality of writing was not what I'd expect from someone who declares his intention to BE a writer. Cliches were lined up and marched across the page, in glorious splendor. Fricking one after the other. It was a hard read only in that your eyes were forced to dodge cliches half the time.But the story itself has a fresh sweetness to it. And I've already recommended it to a friend who's quite keen on the artist. So, there you go-- 4 stars.
