My wife gave me this book for Christmas 2015. I've been coloring in it with my 4yr old daughter. Mostly she helps me pick colors and bumps me from time to time.Mar 14, 2016
WARNING! This is an ongoing project so this review will probably be bumped whenever I remember to update what I've been doing.Feb 16, 2016
EDIT: Having attempted some more of these I'm going to say EF is still my favourite. I like this book but there's a lot of repetitive geometric designs with very fine lines. There's a few pics I'm not bothered about colouring; googling shows great versions, but I'm not an artist so not looking for too complex.Dec 10, 2015
Lost Ocean is a colouring book that the reader/artist can really immerse themselves in and get lost within its gorgeous pages. Although it is an adult colouring book, it can actually be enjoyable at any age. This book makes the reader feel artistic, provides an amusing game and aids in relaxation.Jan 03, 2017

Joanna Basford, the biggest name in adult coloring books, has a spectacular new coloring book for adults called Lost Ocean: An Inky Adventure & Coloring Book that brings to mind all manner of meditation mandelas, craft projects, color theories, visual recognition games, to say nothing of the wonders of the underwater world. The pictures are dense and detailed, far too complex for a child to manage, but perhaps just perfect for a teen or adult, perhaps even a much older adult, who wishes to Joanna Basford, the biggest name in adult coloring books, has a spectacular new coloring book for adults called Lost Ocean: An Inky Adventure & Coloring Book that brings to mind all manner of meditation mandelas, craft projects, color theories, visual recognition games, to say nothing of the wonders of the underwater world.

Under a lot of stress? Grab a copy of an adult coloring book. Lost Ocean is a bit more difficult than Ms. Basford's earlier books. The details are smaller in some of the pages, so you will need to sharpen those pencil crayons to a finer point. Pages take days and hours to color, and you will probably never have the right shade of green or blue. (Which in itself can be a bit stressful!)Oct 29, 2015
Sharpen up your colored pencils, because these are lovely, enticing, and intricate designs! You WILL need very sharp colored pencils to do them justice.Dec 11, 2015
Okay, I admit it - when I first heard about adult colouring books, I was skeptical. Could sitting down to colour be enjoyable? Relaxing? Dare I say - stress relieving? And then I tried it - and the answer is yes to all of the above.Nov 30, 2015
Colouring was one of my favourite hobbies to do as a child and when my children were old enough to enjoy it I'd happily join them. There's something creative and yet so relaxing about passing the time with a gaggle of sharpened pencil crayons in seemingly every colour of the rainbow and a big colouring book.Mar 01, 2016
Needs more more mermaids, but is otherwise fantastic.Aug 24, 2018
One of my favorite coloring books. Johanna Basford always makes the most beautiful coloring books. They mostly remind me of fantasy lands you'd want to escape to.Apr 12, 2016
So I realized AFTER I bought this book (I'm an impulse buyer) that this one was published by a different publishing company and BOY HOWDY can you tell the difference. First of all, there's no dust cover, which doesn't really bother me, I always take those off anyway, but it's one of those faux-dust covers where there are little flaps in the front and back and THAT pisses me off. Either do or don't, you know? Commit or don't, just YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH.May 17, 2016
I received the book for free through Goodreads Giveaways and forgot about it for a long time. Then two things happened. First, I saw the book in a store. Second, I went on Goodreads and discovered that its rating was 4.65, which is well above average. After all that I couldn't resist leaving a negative review. The problem is I didn't expect that the 'advance uncorrected sampler' I asked through giveaways in reality would be a ten-page excerpt. I feel offended.

The problem is I didn't expect that the 'advance uncorrected sampler' I asked through giveaways in reality would be a ten-page excerpt. I feel offended. Besides 'magical journey beneath the ways' is a description that falls very far from reality. That promise makes me think of some real creatures to color, while the book is just an assembly of sea-themed patterns. ...moreJan 25, 2016
While not a reading book, I wanted to rate this book. Since I have always enjoyed coloring, I am enjoying the current adult coloring craze and the books that reflect a more sophisticated style.Feb 04, 2016
Hands down, my favorite of Basfords books. I heart coloring details.Feb 28, 2016
I own and love this coloring book. The pictures are intricate and paper is good quality.Dec 23, 2015
Really cool adult coloring book. more on http://bookwinked.wordpress.comDec 22, 2015
The Lost Ocean is definitely my favourite Johanna Basford colouring book to date. It does have a couple of overly intricate designs but I absolutely love at least 95% of the book.Oct 28, 2015
This book is a visual orgasm. I can't help but compare it to The Time Chamber by Daria Song, since that is the only other "adult" coloring book I own. If this were a competition between the two, Lost Ocean would win.Dec 20, 2015
Lost Ocean is an absolutely beautiful adult colouring book. If you like underwater scenes, you will probably enjoy this book. Basford is an wonderful artist and her pictures are full of incredible detail. In fact, if you are going to colour this book, make sure you have a good pencil sharpener (and maybe some reading glasses?). Some pages are mandala-like, others are scenes, and there are a few less detailed pages. However, each page would easily take hours to colour in.Feb 23, 2016
As far as colouring books for adults go, this is one of my favourites. I love the various patterns, cool underwater themed designs, scenes of shipwrecks and ocean creatures.Nov 28, 2015
I received this in a Goodreads giveaway.Nov 18, 2015
Great book/illustrations. Worth the wait. Love all the ocean themed pictures (as opposed to her previous themes of garden and forest). Wonderful thick pages which unfortunately are two-sided but this is not unique in the coloring book business. Alternates nicely between single page and designs that cover 2-pages. The intricacy varies which is important to not feel overwhelmed. I conduct seminars in coloring and everyone else is loving it too!Sep 06, 2016
