Summary: Childish writing/not worth the money
Review: Very basic writing method. Should appeal to intellectually challenged only.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst book since kindergarten
Review: Although I like management books, this book is absolutely crap.

The story is childish, the message is weak.

Do not buy it.

There is only one advantage, you can finish it within two hours of reading.

Summary: weLEAD Book Review by leadingtoday.org
Review: In the turbulent corporate world it is important to anticipate, recognize, and understand change. Who Moved My Cheese? is a book which describes how to deal with change. Who Moved my Cheese? is a story about how two mice and two little men look for cheese in a maze. The cheese pictures what we want to have in life, whether it is a small income or a life of luxury. The maze pictures where we spend our time looking for what we want. Some people are content with what they have and resist change, while others are constantly looking for new opportunities. This entertaining little parable is a quick read which illustrates that sometimes we get too accustomed to our cheese being in a particular place and fail to notice when the supply gets smaller or is about to disappear. Then when we finally notice, we are often too frustrated to look for alternative sources of cheese, or else we eventually start looking while losing valuable time. As you read this book you will probably start relating the different characters in the book to people that you know, and how they react to change. Who Moved My Cheese? is not just for business professionals or organizations, but can be very helpful for everyday life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who moved my cheese? GREAT BOOK~~~
Review: Who Moved My Cheese? seems to say that no matter what changes, no matter what, you should see it as a good thing.

Change. It happens to all of us, but is it good or bad? Spencer Johnson elaborates in his "book" Who Moved My Cheese?, presented as a "fable" about dealing with change in business and personal life.

The story revolves around two mice, "Sniff" and "Scurry", and two "littlepeople", "Hem" and "Haw". They live in a "maze" and spend their time running around, looking for, finding, and eating "Cheese". Cheese, as is "a metaphor for what we want to have in life", such as a job, a relationship, money, a big house, or an insulting yet best-selling business book. Cheese can even be "...an activity like jogging or golf..."

I have learned three important aspects from this book is that ¡§The Quicker You Let Go Of Old Cheese, The Sooner You Find New Cheese¡¨, ¡§Old Beliefs Do Not Lead You to New Cheese¡¨ and ¡§Movement in a New Direction Helps You Find New Cheese¡¨.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Indenify who you are and be ready to change
Review: This book is very simple, and is very complex!
The wordings, sentences and structure are very simple, but the meanings are very depth.
People in the world have 4 characters: sniff, scurry, hem and haw. And all of us are looking for our ¡¥cheese¡¦ ¡V that is what we want to have in life. However, some of us are arrogance of success and neglect the changes of the world. Maybe some of us notice the changes, but still refuse to make changes. Why? It is because of fear! We fear to make changes and we believe we would get out of comfort if we adapt to change. Then what is the result? As the story said ¡¥If you do not change, you can become extinct.¡¦
After read this book, you can identify which character you are in and you can learn most from Hem¡¦s adventure. At last I will remember Hem¡¦s summary:
¡¥Change happens, anticipate change, monitor change, adapt to change quickly, change, enjoy change, and finally be ready to change quickly and enjoy it again and again.¡¦
Although every people know this philosophy and some of them criticize it is a commonplace, how many of us will really adapt it?
Read this book and you will discover how important it is and I believe it will lead me success.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Long live the allegory
Review: You can read this in less than 30 mins. A quick, simple allegory about change & transition.

More than one person has given it to their staff/managers in a less-than-subtle hint.

An interesting ratio to note: the story is 73 pages (A5 in large print), and the "About the Author" section is 2 pages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent! Wonderful!
Review: I loved this book. I purchased it over a year ago and read it in two sittings (only to absorb the info). I could have easily downed it in a night but I needed a couple of days to mull it over and apply it. Since that time, my life has done a complete overhaul in a positive way. I've also sent this book to a friend who was also going through tough changes. I definitely recommend this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Who Cheesed Me Off?
Review: Like hundreds (if not thousands) of other readers of this work, I found it to be completely useless. The author stretches an essentially one-paragraph parable into an awful (and way overpriced) book.

The basic message? Change happens; get used to it.

Wow, that's deep (NOT!). My only saving grace in reading this book was that someone gave it to me as a gift. I sure feel sorry for them . . . and for anyone who is considering getting this time-waster of a text. DON'T BOTHER!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Deserves 0 stars
Review: Here is a summary of all the useful information contained in this book:

ADAPT!

Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know this? Are we so dumb and shallow that we can only digest it in (bad) fairy tale form? Was it really necessary to add such gems of insight as: "Imagining myself enjoying new cheese even before I find it, leads me to it"? No, no and no. Avoid this rancid cheese at all costs.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Who Moved my BRAIN?????
Review: You mean I didn't have to go to college, read literature and philosophy, study history, science, math, and human behavior, grapple with the big questions of life, learn to think for myself, become a well-rounded person....?

You mean I'm really nothing more than a mouse caught in a maze?

You mean all I ever had to do was adopt a cheerful can-do attitude when the giant disembodied hand moved my only source of nourishment?

Why do I feel like this book was written by someone who works for the giant disembodied hand??

This book is an insult to any sentient being who possesses a shred of dignity. It is a sad comment on our culture, society, and educational system that so many people have found this inane drivel to be "life-changing".

Wake up, people!

There's an old saying, "Even if you win the rat race, your still a rat!"
