Format:Taschenbuch
Keris Bücher existieren nicht ohne ihre Leser, die dazu eingeladen werden, am Buch mitzuarbeiten, um es zu Ende zu schreiben. Das Buch ist sehr schön und geheimnisvoll und gibt sehr viele Anregungen darüber, wie man seine Umwelt erforscht und dokumentiert. Eigentlich ist es der gleiche Ansatz wie bei "Wie man sich die Welt erlebt", nur das man eben ins Buch schreiben und malen soll und das Buch quasi "zu Ende schreiben" soll. Ich habe es gelesen und mich von den Ideen inspirieren lassen, habe mich aber nicht getraut, das Buch so zu "verunstalten" wie die Autorin das vorschlägt. Man muss es aber auch nicht. Ein Zeichenblock oder Notitzheft machens auch.
Es gibt nur 4 Punkte, weil ich finde, dass Keris Bücher alle ziemlich gleich sind, und es nicht viele neue Ideen gibt, im Vergleich mit z.B "Wreck this Journal", oder "Wie man sich die Welt erlebt". Letzteres würde ich eher empfehlen, weil es da meiner Meinung nach mehr interessante Ideen gibt.
Keris Bücher sind auch sehr für Kinder und Jugendliche geeignet, weil sie einen von Computern und sonstigen Bildschirmen weg- raus in die Natur bringen, dazu einladen mit der Umwelt zu kommunizieren und zu spielen, kreativ zu sein, auf eine freie und ungezwungene Art.

Keri Smith Has Done it Again!!
20. Oktober 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Once again Ms. Smith has put together a book that can get anyone excited about books, writing and creating. I gave this to my 9-year old son who immediately proclaimed "this book is boring." I said nothing, left it on his table and within 24 hours I noticed he had taken a fervent interest in the book. Cutting the chase, after about a week, he had given up the quest to find some something-or-other in a video game to work on many of the "assignments" in this book. He was outside, in the house, on the Internet doing all kinds of sleuthing, investigating and researching. He wrote plenty about his findings (more than anything he's done in school) and applied a lot of the process to an upcoming class project (Hallelujah!!!! can you hear the bells ringing??). And I noticed he proudly took this book to school to show some of his friends what he's been doing. For an upcoming friend's birthday, he insisted this was what he wanted, and now there's a group of kids who are all over this book, creating their own manuals, guides, etc.
Please, oh please, Ms. Smith, do another one soon!!!

Being An Investigative-Creative. A Review of Finish This Book.
11. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
My business partner and I (both branding & creative consultants) became super fans of Keri Smith when we cracked open her book, Explorer of the World, while on a business trip to Atlanta. So when we came across Smith's Finish This Book while on another branding adventure in Lawrence, Kansas we knew we had to pick it up. We didn't quite realize the creative adventure this book would take us on as we road-tripped back home. My 11-year-old self would have flipped out over how cool Finish This Book is - okay who am I kidding, the creative professional I am today also flipped out (and learned a lot) over Smith's newest book.
Here's how it goes - on a dark and stormy night (the way all good stories begin) Keri Smith stumbles upon scattered pages from an abandoned instruction manual in a park. And now she is counting on you, the reader, to help her solve this mystery. Finish This Book is broken up into four interactive sections including Secret Intelligence Training, Documenting and Observing Methods, Artifact Examination Techniques and finally The Instruction Manual. You are instructed to complete an exercise on each page - it is up to you to populate Finish This Book with the necessary content in order for it to be a book at all.
What Keri Smith does with Finish This Book is give you permission (and resources) to be a creative problem solver while finding your own unique voice and creative authority. She facilitates a creative process that takes something huge - like writing a book - and breaks it down into small but powerful exercises. Smith holds you accountable and empowers you with the responsibility of making choices and putting them down on paper - so when you do get to the end you're not back-pedaling or doubting yourself. And when you turn the last page you've not only finished the book - you have become a creator in the process. Through a series of logical steps you have found your voice and you have written a story.
I can't tell you much more without spoiling the book. So I beg you - go out and buy it for yourself - or your creative department. And if you don't have the time (or courage) to finish it please - pass it on to a brave and curious 11-year-old you might know.

F*nish Th*s R*vi*w
28. September 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I'm a big fan of Keri Smith's other books, Mess: Manual of Accidents and Mistakes and Wreck this Journal. Really I know I shouldn't have purchased this book without at least completing "Mess" but I couldn't help it. I was simply too curious about "The Mystery."
So far a major difference of "F*nish Th*s B**k" is that the assignments are not as open ended as the two books I just mentioned. The book must be finished IN ORDER, which means that since I just got the B**K today I have completed four missions or so. I can tell you guys that so far seems much more "story" based than either Mess or Wreck, and as a co-creator of "Finish" I am discovering its story and hunting down clues as a sleuth. I can only imagine what some of these prompts will be. However, I really can't tell you much more than this without possibly spoiling something and this book is all about the JOURNEY.
Perhaps it is a good thing Mrs. Smith is enforcing the rule that each page must be completed in order-- or give the book to someone else-- because maybe I won't find myself struggling to finish the last ten assignments in it like I am with Mess in particular. Well, more than ten. Mostly the ones with photography prompts or the "get your buddies to join in" prompts.
Why should you buy this book? 1. If you like her other books. 2. If you don't mind acting silly (I'm assuming!) 3. If you do not mind not knowing what is coming up 4. If you are curious and 5. want to stretch yourself a little mentally. Most of Mrs. Smith's books are about thinking outside the box. I'm assuming this book is rather the same in that regard. Don't worry about what art supplies you may need. The list is only about ten items long, much shorter than the suggested supply list in either Wreck or Mess, and uses common items found in most homes.
So if you'll excuse me I have to get my disguise, decoder ring, smoking pipe, and my deerstalker coat because there's a mystery afoot! I only own one of these things, by the way. Possibly two. I wouldn't put it past the author to sneak in a decoder ring somewhere in this book.
