The Cello Maker: And Other Stories of Creative People by David P. Andersen, is a mouth-watering book documenting several personalities with their creative work that changed fortunes. The author carefully puts together different stories that are exciting and inspiring to read about. Besides, they are informative, as some highlight inventions that began several years ago. The author highlights several inventions, for example, the airplane, as documented in the "Forbidden Flight" story, and the invention of technologies that preceded voicemail, clearly highlighting how the purpose of voicemail has changed to the present day.

I loved this book as it documented several exciting stories. Among them is the story of "Fly Me," where the author narrates an exciting dream of flying a radio-controlled airplane in the moonlight. Coming from a sleepless night, the main character in the story eventually lands their dream flight as they meet a ticking airplane left alone in the yard. After making several turns, they finally land and get into their car back home. A sleepless night for the main character turned out to be a night of deep sleep that signified their contentment with flying an airplane.

The story of "Forbidden Flight" is another exciting moment I met in this book. Ranhaka, after observing a bird, is ambitious to invent a bird that flies. Did Ranhaka's dream of getting their bird fly come true? What inspired Ranhaka's tireless effort to make several changes to their invention? Read this book to find out the answers.

The story of "TheCello Maker" is another exciting one. It was satisfying to see the cello maker seated in the auditorium, watching the entire crowd wear a smile courtesy of his skills. Not to forget the story of "Sinusoidal Motion," where John is determined to achieve what their grandfather failed to achieve.

I did not find anything in this book to make me dislike it. Every story is yet another new adventure. Every story gives the reader another form of imagination, refreshment, and history while enjoying the creativity of the characters.

I give this book a 5 out of 5-star rating. The book was professionally edited. I did not encounter any grammar errors, but instead, I met a beautiful writing style used by David, where some words are written in a short form. I recommend this book to readers who wish to explore creativity.
