Book Reviews of And Suddenly the Inventor Appeared: TRIZ, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving
Book Review: A good introduction to TRIZ, but not the best synthesis of knowledge
Summary: 3 Stars
The book starts with good examples, and is definitely interesting to read. However, I am not convinced by the way Genrikh Altshuller has synthesized his experience and knowledge. The contents of the book can definitely transform a good inventor to a better inventor, but that's about it. The claims and propganda about TRIZ on the world wide web are far mor exaggerated, as a reader with critical thinking skills (aka reading with open mind) will quickly realize after reading this book.
