A review by davemmett
Cirque Du Soleil: The Spark: Igniting the Creative Fire That Lives Within Us All by John U. Bacon, Lyn Heward

4.0

This was a perfect book to read right after [b:Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us|6452796|Drive The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us|Daniel H. Pink|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275625860s/6452796.jpg|6643001]; in a way it was a case study of the type of organization that Drive suggests we need more of. Cirque values creativity, innovation, and collaboration above all else, and those are almost exactly what Dan Pink advocates for in Drive.

At first, I found the writing style somewhat... Hokey. It's sort of a mix between an autobiography and a novel, a fictionalized non-fiction story. But as the book went on I kinda got into it.

More than anything, this made me really want to go watch more Cirque Du Soleil shows (I saw my first one is summer and it was awesome).
