"I pick up this book periodically for inspiration. Its a really interesting read, basically a catalog of female inventors arranged catagorically. The book also has good resources in the appendix for inventors.

While I liked reading the examples of good marketing strategies I thought this book was too long. I didnt make it through the last 2 chapters out of boredom.
On a positive note: I now watch commercials with a different eye than I used to - looking for that unexpected element. This book gave me a better idea of how to make statistics meaningful (i.e. people wont remember numbers like 2billion widgets so try to relate it to something they will remember) and that will be useful to me in my work.
This is the first book of this genre Ive read so i dont know how it stacks up against the competition. if you have some time to kill this would be a good book to get from the library, but dont run out and buy it....less

I think the most interesting part of the book is...more
I think I like this book because I could identify with Gene. Lets face it, i would think most people could. We all knew that seemingly perfect person that we thought 'if only I could be like them'
I think the most interesting part of the book is the mystery surrounding Phineas' debilitating fall. I still dont quite know if Phineas knew Gene was responsible or not, perhaps he realized or suspected it but tried to convince himself that it wasnt true
The juxtaposition of Gene's trials growing up with the ongoing war is interesting and there are a lot of parallels there....less
