Summary: Eh...
Review: I was required to read this book for a college course. "Who Moved My Cheese?" does teach some important life lessons about change, but I found the method the book used to get those lessons across (a parable about "little people" making their way through a maze) to be personally unappealing. The book's other saving grace (besides its message) is that it's a quick read - it has almost 100 pages, and the words appear in large type. I wouldn't read "Who Moved My Cheese?" again.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not as good as I thought of
Review: It didn't take long for me to read this book .It's just a short story for less than one hundred pages that can entertain people in a short time. Why do so many people love this book? I don't see it really help people very much. Actually it only tells two mice and two little people looking for cheese and running through the maze,it's difficult to tell why this story related to changes we face in reality.
This story disappoints me so much,I wondered how good it can tell me about life or philosophy. It turns out that the persuading power is not too great enough. We can never become Haw. We aren't Sniff and Scurry,human beings have complicated thinkings,we'll never deal with changes without fear. Being frightened and worried is the common and basic behavior when something changed, the differences between people are just the degree of responsiveness. I think the story should better more concentrate on telling methods to deal with fear.
However one thing I concern much about in the story is the relationship between friends. Haw remember his good friend Hem when he is enjoying his tasty cheese and want to share with him. Is this nobly behavior still exist in this world now?I am quite doubt about this question. Maybe we want to but in practice we don't .By now , the society is much developed ,the gap between people become much wider. We are always selfish to maximize our possessions regardless people who are surrounding us. At the same time,we want others care about us. We don't pay and we gain nothing. The cheese -care from other ,seems never exist in people's hearts no more. Who Moved Our Cheese? You ? Me? I'm afraid the answer is all of us!!

Summary: Grab the cheese and run
Review: I found this book easy to read and easy to understand. I needed help kicking the HEM attitude and I found salvation with this simple book. If you find yourself lagging behind or if you are afraid to find true peace and happiness, then this is the book for you. Who Moved My Cheese is the first step into your revolving life.

Summary: Who Moved My Syntax?
Review: Who Moved My Cheese is a parable about two mice and two tiny people living in a maze adapting to the changes and challenges of obtaining cheese. When I first started reading this book I was put off by the simplistic nature of the mice parable as well as the unsophisticated cheese illustrations. Initilly I felt as if my intelligence was being insulted. Surely I had outgrown storybook tales of life's lessons and my graduate education had prepared me for a more challenging read. But eventually I took a step back and asked myself why I was so threatened by a 94-page book. I came to realize we as a society and as individuals get so caught up in technological marvels and cutting edge business philosophy we forget the basics. Even while reading a book for self-improvement we put up walls. In Who Moved My Cheese the message is delivered in a way we have grown unaccustomed to, it is different and it is change. We are sometimes resistant to listening because we believe we know the answers. Who Moved My Cheese is talking but are we able to listen? It certainly does not take a high dollar education to read and understand this book; it does however take a humble approach and ego control. I recommend this book not just for the tutorial in change but the self-directed seminar in humility.

Summary: No more cheese please!
Review: I was forced to read this book for a company I worked for that was thoroughly embracing the whole concept. I've never seen as much hype about something so common sense as I have this book. Anyone who has ever worked a day in his/her life would know as much as this book supposedly introduces us to.

Don't get rooked on this moldy piece of cheese. Save your money and have a conversation with an older person who has lived through some strife.

Summary: The cheese stinks!
Review: I can't believe this was a #1 bestseller. The book is only 94 pages long, which is probably more like 50 something, cause ever other page has a picture of a piece of cheese with some message on it. Plus the words are like 50 times bigger than a normal book - ...

Summary: The cheese stinks!
Review: I can't believe this was a #1 bestseller. The book is only 94 pages long, which is probably more like 50 something, cause every other page has a picture of a piece of cheese with some message on it. Plus the words are like 50 times bigger than a normal book - I felt like I was reading a kindergarten book. It is the most basic concept in the world. In my opinion, this book is for people who REALLY have a problem adapting to change and are very negative. On to PowerNomics.

Summary: Don't get cheesed! ...
Review: ... Touted as the great parable on leadership, this book has nothing to do with leadership at all. The story in a nutshell: two mice and two little people live in a maze. They find a big pile of cheese and eat it till it is gone. When it is gone, the mice take off to find more cheese as the little people Hem and Haw, panic and get angry/depressed at the injustice of the loss of their cheese. Cheese is your job. Be it your position or your company. When it is lost, you can either cry about it or move on to look for a new job. There is no leadership in this book, it is every man (or mouse) for themselves. Nobody worked at building a team to strategize ways of establishing self-sustaining modes of cheese production. Nobody stepped forward to lead the others toward success. Everyone was complacent with their cheese and when it was gone so were they. If your boss gives you this book it means he/she sees their employees as "little" (insignificant) people, and that they are preparing you for downsizing/layoff. ... You don't need this book, save your money to buy your friends or family a nice gift.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This describes all of us, in one way or another: Great book!
Review: With a simple parable of a story, this book shows a way of evaluating our life choices. I think that the book applies to far more than employees forced to accept management decisions, as another reviewer here suggested as a reason for her dislike. All of us have the opportunity to change our life or circumstances in some way by changing our attitudes and actions. As a business owner I can see circumstances where I've reacted in each of the ways depicted in the book. For a book with only about 100 pages, the message has the potential to transform you life if you permit it (if you're not a "Hem" ;-) ) I found it to be a very stimulating read and well worth the money/time to read it. I intend to re-read it and apply the principles to my life. I'm even thinking of showing the cartoon version to my kids! Learning to adapt to change and even enjoy it can be a valuable life-lesson.
