Praise and Criticism for
“Just a Bunch of Crazy Ideas”
“Many of Ponnapalli’s essays are intellectually challenging,
short, well written, and entertaining . . . .
Just a Bunch of Crazy Ideas closes with several short
chapters on expanding space exploration, profiting in the
stock market, reducing production-inhibiting interruptions
of IT workers, hiker safety, and making a dishwasher for
people with bad backs. They are all satisfying to read, and
Ponnapalli’s enthusiasm for each topic is refreshing and can’t
help but pique one’s interest in looking at the stuff of life with a
more creative eye.”—Patty Sutherland, Foreword Reviews
Author Pardu S. Ponnapalli offers a collection of ideas on a
variety of subjects in his new book, Just a Bunch of Crazy
Ideas. Seventeen distinct ideas are explored that turn out to
be not so crazy. The book examines alternative ways to play
chess and hockey and makes suggestions about changing
things we use every day, like dishwashers. This book is
infused with humor and encouragement to readers to discuss
the author’s suggestions and come up with their own creative
solutions . . . .
Just a Bunch of Crazy Ideas is fun and informative. The
author presents a broad spectrum of topics that will challenge
readers and possibly spark a streak of innovation among
them.—Melissa Brown Levine, Independent Professional
