"I read A Perfect Mess because I just saw it at the library and I thought it looked interesting. A Perfect Mess is about how mess, as categorized by a million different words, he has categorizes a bunch of different kinds of mess, can be sometimes useful in regular life and lead to positive outcomes. One of the examples he talks about in the book is about how penicillin was discovered because a researcher left Petri dishes out and some mold got in there, and that ended up being, you know, "Wow, that's penicillin!" As a messy person myself, I was hoping that I would get a lot more ammo from this book for, "Yeah! I'm messy because what he said!" But I didn't get quite as much as I was hoping. I would give A Perfect Mess about three stars out of five. Ironically, what I didn't like about the book was kind of that, it approached the topic in a kind of messy way. It did a lot of anecdotes and took a long time to get around to so where are you headed with this?"
