This review is from: Fire In the Crucible (Mass Market Paperback)
Fire in the Crucible rates top on my list of non-fiction reads. Briggs offers understanding of the creative process; he delves into the personalities and motivations of creators and leaves the reader inspired and ignited. One of the finest books I have read on creativity. A book for all who need their creative fires stoked.

This review is from: Fire in the Crucible: Understanding the Process of Creative Genius (Paperback)
The author covers some genuinely good material - but - good grief, he makes you pay dearly for every scrap. I am almost halfway through the book, and the author's habit for drowning the reader with excessive verbage make for extremely draining reading. Lots of good ideas - when you can distill them from the swill! If you are looking for quick insight into the creative mind, forget it. There's gold in that book, but be prepared to wrestle the prose to the ground and fight dirty. My plan for the rest of the book is to scan lightly for the ideas, and avoid the mindsand that is the author's writing style.
