Oh, thanks for the catchy title and the book that gives direction to and acknowledges the "others"... those outside the box, who don't know there IS a box. They will solve the future...

Perhaps I'm too old and traditional (something of which I've rarely been accused), but I found the format of this book confusing. It is like a print version of the hand-held camera films, complete with jiggles and interruptions. It was hard to find and follow a cohesive thought. That said, I found the descriptions of the handful of schools the author highlights to be interesting and helpful. And the interrupting material was useful and interesting as well.

My daughter is starting the process of looking at colleges, so I am in the process of obtaining information about various colleges. As a somewhat unusual teen, with unusual tastes, I am particularly looking for colleges that are unique or off beat. While this book does have some good information, it was difficult to find due to the incredibly poor layout. It was more like reading a catalog than a book about schools. In addition, while many kids may not know about these schools, many others may. My daughter has been contacted by almost all of the colleges in the book that would interest her. How? By filling out the ACT and SAT questionnaires and letting the colleges that matched her desires find her. My recommendation would be to check this out of the library or the guidance office and see if it might help you. If so, go ahead and buy it.
