thanks for the other link

I did look at the 'dean kamens inventions' thread list, and that wasnt there

just realized it defaults to threads that have been active only during the last two months. But even if I had seen it, I dont think the other thread title would have led me to think it was about this book

well, maybe it would.

...so between both threads, only a handfull of people have read the book? Im surprized.

I have it, haven't read it yet.

EDIT: I have begun reading it and like it so far. I'm like on page 20.

It is a good story. The storyline moves pretty well and Kemper does a good job of describing "characters". Kemper seems to walk a fine line between making a book to sell to the masses and trying to keep people in the book happy. While his story may be accurrate, he did take liberty to step on many toes to tell his story. I can see why this depiction ticked some people off.

ive read it. its an awesome book! i loved it and if i had the time id read it again but now that the new seasons started its going to have to wait.

everyone should read it it really shows u what it would be like to work with dean and how he really thinks. i really like the begining when it described how dean got started.

good book everyone go get it... or a segway and let me ride it!

tell you what - if anyone has a Segway I will let you borrow my copy of the book if you let me borrow your Segway while you read it :c)

I got it and read through it.

If anything, I think it gave me a better understanding of engineering and designing a product. I have a newfound appreciation for manufacturing and producing.

I have BOTH, and I won't easily part with either ...

[KenWittlief]

if you buy one, dont you HAVE to get the other, sooner or later?

that would be a good deal for Amazon, buy the book and get a free segway, you know, a package deal.
