Loved it. Helped me see a vision for education beyond the standard system that sucks all the creativity out of kids. Wish I'd had personalised learning.

My school's summer read for faculty. It was an interesting study of creativity, how our current educational model stifles it, and what needs to change to make things better.

Too theoretical for my taste. Focus was also on how formal education isn't leading us to be creative. It looked like it was leading to what other sorts of education / training help us be creative but I abandoned it after the first 100 pages.

Wonderfully written. Extremely stimulating. Life changing. A must-read for the policy maker, opinion leaders, educators, teachers, instructors, facilitators, coaches, business leaders and managers.

Ken Robinson was a brilliant speaker but a terrible author. This book was all over the place with no rhyme or reason and no real conclusion.

I love Sir Ken Robinson. He's one of my main influences. BUT this book is terrible. First, the title is misleading. It won't teach you to be creeative at all. A more appropriate one would be "Why we need to be creative?". That's the whole book: painting the general picture of why we needed to rethink traditional forms of education. Sure, he painted a general picture but it's not a good picture. Each and every chapter, I'm looking for something .that'll go in depth. I finished the book and I didn't find what I was looking for. Disappointed. I'll give him another try but if that also ends up like this, I think I'll just stick to his talks.

"Transforming education is not easy but the price of failure is more than we can afford, while the benefits of success are more than we can imagine."
