Acorn Hardcover – Illustrated, November 19, 2013

Her writing is beautiful, artistic, simple but strong. Her writing makes you imagine and reflect on your surroundings and your life.

I was absolutely immersed in this book. This book is best paired with a cup of tea and comfy chair

I also have Grapefruit, and I really enjoy Yoko Ono and her work. I think she has been so unfairly treated by the press and Beatles fans alike, that many people just ad hominem judge her but don't take the time or have an open enough mind about her work to get to know her as an artist. Truly, this is a wonderful new set of her "instructions" and drawings.

I enjoyed this immensely. I expected something a lot more weird and controversial since it is by Yoko Ono and I've seen her other work but this was a more otherworldly version of the poetry I have been exposed to over the years. I thought it was wonderful.

Wonderful book. A good sequel to Yoko's 1963 book, Grapefruit. I've always liked Yoko Ono's work. If you've enjoyed Yoko's work over the years, and are open-minded, this book will make you think. The book is worth leaving on your desk or coffee table to reread or as a way to share with others.

just as wonderful, as poetic, as thoughtful, as lyrical, as "grapefruit", yoko ono's first book of brief poetic insights/beautifully written thoughts.some very interesting and lovely drawings, too.if you loved "grapefruit" (i did, and still do), get this, too. you'll love it. john lennon did, and for a reason.....it's art- lovely, well written and expressed art.

This book is so artistic and creative and imaginative. My soul feels explorative when I read it.

I love Yoko Ono's writing, it is so simply from the heart. I use this book as a meditation sometimes, it opens the mind to endless possibilities. I also gave it as a gift to my 13-year old granddaughter, who loves it as well.

I would say that this fabulous book is even more outstanding than Yoko's predecessor `Grapefruit' (see my review for that title) which was a brilliant success. Some may find these passages and pieces even more uplifting in their analogy and advice. I particularly like and was intrigued as to how Yoko explains her fascination and attachment to the sky which she tends to lock on to and bring out in many of her projects exhibitions. She explains that the sky is not only above us - but immediately above us and reaches right down to the ground we all stand on, and whilst this may seem pretty obvious, it is a concept that many of us do not contemplate in every day life... I thought it amazing (simple though it may be) that we are all in fact walking in the sky! As soon as your foot is lifted from the ground in a step - you are actually moving in the sky, thus we are all walking in the sky!There are SO, SO many gems in this book equal, and even surpassing those of `Grapefruit', but as I've already said; many are more uplifting and they include some very helpful pieces towards the end of the book for those feeling alone, unloved, frightened or in distress.Yoko Ono is truly a remarkable woman and gives great insight into the world's suffering and the people in it. Respect and LOVE her whilst this tremendous and very important artist is among us.Great stuff!

GENIUS. yoi got to ahdn it to Yojko after Grpaefruit she gets it the Zen cuture the West the humour and concept and beauty of life and people and those monents of wonder just comes out at you from every page..... Whatever they say about her... Yoko's Grapefruit nd Acorn really do stand the tes tof time........ My fiance loved this book as well.. I cannot deny it. Yoko Ono gets it and she does it in a way as to mak you smile and add wonder back at the world! Brillaint book. Every bedside should have a copy!

Instructional, full of ideas and white space and images, some make sense and some don't. Great on the Kindle , will be revisited constantly. There is no story but there is a journey of you want to take it , I recommend that you do

Inspiring, thoughtful and plain daft - all in one cuddly edition! Fifty years since Grapefruit and Yoko can bring a smile to your lips and a spring to your step. Recommended as a light read and/or a design for life.

A slightly bonkers book containing unintentionally hilarious rhymes and bon mots from Yoko.
