Book Reviews of A Kick in the Seat of the Pants

Book Review: A Primer For The Creative-Challenged
Summary: 5 Stars

"Whack" is just plain good. With an entertaining manner, the author gives the nuts-and-bolts of being creative. A fast reader will get through it in an hour or so, but everyone should slow down and think about what Von Oech says.

I personally credit this book with showing me how to excercise my creativity, which had always yielded uneven results before. Even more, I've taught the techniques and know they can help everyone from gifted artists to techno-geeks to MBAs.

Hooray for Roger Von Oech!
