I found this book about public space very interesting. It explained what public is, where and about waht it looks like. I found the information that they gave in this book very useful and entertaining. With all the nice drawings it gave the book a proffesional look. In the book the author explains his personal life with public spaces which I thought was very well written. AI rate this book 9/10.

I would rate this book a 7.5/10. i was good, but i didnt find the topic too interesting. I found that there was great voice and for the topic it, the book was written well, and it was more interesting than some other bokos that i had read. I found that the author really knew how to connect with his audience.

This book was about Public Spaces, more specifically, what is a public space, sharing public spaces, designing public spaces and fighting public spaces. This book talked about teen hangouts in public spaces and homeless people in public spaces. It also discussed conflicts in public spaces around the world.

I thought this book was good, I liked the topic, and some of the information inside, (for example the different public spaces over the world). I thought this book had a good main topic (public spaces), but they didn't stick to the topic, which made the book uninteresting. For example, in the book it talked about graffiti, security cameras, laws in different countries, and homeless people. Although the Author did a good job describing these things and he related them to the topic, I don’t think they should include pages and pages about them, maybe a part of a page.
I would rate this book and 6/10.

I found this book very interesting because it explains what a public space is and it talks about some of the most famous public spaces.
I liked how it talked abou how we can conserve public spaces.
But i didn't like the toic so i would rate this book 8 out of ten.

I'll give this book a 5 out of 10. It barely any facts. It is all opinion and the opinions are sort've wrong at times. The book was interesting, but the subject was too specific. The subject of the book wasn't very interesting.

I would rate this book 7/10. I really could care less about this topic, however I think he author is a brilliant writer. He made a boring topic interesting. This book is all about how people use space, who goes where on the space, what people do in the space, where certain things are put to get more attention, and how the space is used.
