Summary: Easy and fun to read. It will change my learning habits
Review: This is a great book. It's short, easy to read, and entertaining. But it's also a very powerful book that will change the way you approach creativity and learning.It's not just about "private writing", it's about how to generate creative ideas and increase your learning and retention of what you read. It's also about how to clarify your thinking. The book has more than enough ideas to improve your life than what you would expect in his 141 page book. I give it an A+ in my rating scale. This is a MUST READ for those who want to increase their learning, creativity and retention. John Dunbar

Summary: Extremely disappointing
Review: Two typos on the introductory page largely put me off. Such sloppiness is grave warning that the book itself is very likely a hasty and slapdash effort. In that expectation alone I was not disappointed. What the author says is true. The techniques he describes for free writing are helpful. (Thus the three stars.) But in communicating the technique, he seems to have taken the worst elements of self-help guides, how-to books and management gurus, and not added any original thought. The book can be read in one sitting with ease, and for the most part, it reads as if it was written in one sitting. There are many good books about the creative process and writing. I would steer potential readers away from this one.
