Book Reviews of Roger von Oech's Ball of Whacks: A Creativity Tool for Innovators
Book Review: Ball of weird!
Summary: 4 Stars
At first, i didn't know what to make of my new impulse buy. It was just something i got to have a toy on my desk for distraction, and perhaps a conversation piece. People always ask me what it is, then they pick it up and they love playing around with it.
The weird part is that after ignoring it for a while and then coming back to it weeks later, i begin to dream up all kinds of weird new inventions, ideas for shows, coffee flavors...Lots of these things are bogus or impractical (in this dimension perhaps XD), but occasionally i sit and ponder while just playing with the magnetic pieces and it helps me think clearly.
The item itself doesn't hold any magical properties or really hold up well as a throw and catch toy (Ive tried throwing it up and down while lying on my couch, with messy results...) but its definitely interesting enough to hold my attention every once and a while. Makes a nice gift for an inquisitive middle-schooler or budding entrepreneur.
