| The Imagineering Way : 3 of 5 | |

 I put this book on my Amazon wish list before it was even published, since I really enjoyed the last book I read by Disney's Imagineering team. I was hoping there would be more anecdotes and examples of Imagineering triumphs in this book, but there were enough interesting tidbits to keep me interested. In general, this is a collection of lots of short essays on the spirit and process of Imagineering - turning dreams into reality. There are plenty of wise sayings that are fun, but not very meaty to the average reader. Thankfully, the more I read, the more I enjoyed the tone of the book - after a slow start, it really picked up about a third of the way through. I loved reading about the erector set model of Soarin' Over California and how the water for Grizzly River Run is pumped from Paradise Pier! Reading books like this can be inspiring, even if some of the principles may be hard to apply to real life.
