Summary: This is a very simplistic book.
Review: This book reminds me of another worthless best-seller of a few years ago. Remember the Bridges of Madison County? Like BOMC, this book is much more form than substance. It seems to be a book for people who can't be troubled to read real books.

Don't waste your time. Read a real business book: Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" or Fisher and Ury's "Getting to Yes" or a scientifically researched psychology book like Seligman's "Learned Optimism."

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: "Two stars because it has a positive message"
Review: For children, or an adult who has lived in a cave his whole life this book is a great primer. The concept is phenomenol, accept change and move on. I found "Oh The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss to be a much more fulfilling book. Again, if you are trying to motivate a child--or possibly a teen, this is a great book, but as an adult, I only found this book mildly entertaining. I'm sure the author took his cheese and laughed his way all the way to the bank.

Summary: A book weak me up!
Review: Who moved my chess, this book is firstly introduced by my professor. I did not read it until many friends discussed in a gathering, then I really have impulsive to read this book. Finally, I borrow this book from my friends, I really find that is a very good story, it makes me think more about why you need to change. After reading this book, you may have confidence to improve yourself.

I think the content of the story is well organized. Before the story, is a gathering for some college students, they are sharing about their life after they graduated from school. They are talking about how changes make them confused, how people tackled with these changes and how they reacted for it. This section make audience also think about the changes around them, this may stimulate their thinking since some of them may also have similar experience, so it may make them fell more interested in reading this story. One of the students then introduced this book to other students. And after the story, is the discuss section for these students to share their feeling about this story, the audience may act as a student to join their discussion through the questions asked by the student in the book, this may stimulate audience¡¦s thinking effectively.

I think changes in our life are inevitable, whenever in our study, work or even in inter relationship with friends, spouse and other people, changes always happen. I think fate will not always help you to keep your cheese with you. One day your cheese that is the most important thing may lose it may not always be with you, so you need to well equip with yourself in case that one day your cheese is lost, you can find your new cheese.

This is really a good book that makes you think and understand yourself. I am now introducing this book to my friends, hoping that they will get what they want from this book!

Summary: DON'T Move My Cheese!
Review: Although it contains a few words of wisdom, I did not like the book. First, it presupposes that all change is good. Second, it presupposes that anyone who does not like change is simply afraid of it. Focusing on these two suppositions, the author fails to really discuss change, but merely encourages individuals to blindly accept all change and denigrates those who do not. Finally, the book is written in a remedial tone, and it does not discuss the subject of change in an intelligent and adult manner. Given these three points, the book is clearly an attempt, by the author and those organizations that use it, to get their employees to blindly accept change or be categorized as someone who will not or cannot change.

After growing up as a military brat, I spent twenty-four years in the Army; I've dealt with change all my life. I am certainly not afraid of it, and I resent the implications put forth in the book that I am. Furthermore, not all change is good; much of it is counterproductive and even harmful. No one should ever blindly accept it, but should evaluate both the motive behind it and the necessity and value of it, and then decide whether to support or fight it.

Summary: Shallow and simplistic
Review: A big disappointment! The author tried to use a metaphor to explain how to deal with change in life but I didn't see any explanations in this book, just a shallow story. The message he tried to convey could have been written like this : 'Accept change or else', no need to read the book to understand that. I don't understand all the hype around this book, I certainly don't recommand it to anyone!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: "Right" size the Little People
Review: If condescension were a worthwhile management strategy, this awful book might well be a classic. It is a stilted and silly work which will unfortunately come to define the early 21st century as "The Age Of Moronic Managers." In a few years, this book will be an object of considerable ridicule.
If one peruses the favorable reviews of this Orwellian "Fairytale Speak," you will find that its diminutive size and easy to follow prose are its only redeeming quality. The path to Hell is paved similarly.
Here is reality: The only reason businesses exist are to provide cheeese to as many little people as can be sustained.
The Enron debacle and its managers who felt distance and entitlement from the masses of their own "little people" (and Californians) should provide a cautionary tale for taking this weird fable to heart.

The fact is, stability is what really governs a workplace--knowing that your part of the picture is important and that the company cares enough to let you know where it is moving its resources is paramount. If workers are distant little people bound for disappointing and seismic changes, why should they be loyal to the maze and its omnipotent keepers?

Here is a one sentence essay for those intoxicated with business tomes: The profits of industry are only valuable in as much as we all benefit in some small way from them--quality products, lives, and a stable taxpaying workforce.

Summary: Follow The Cheese
Review: This book was very helpful. Not only did it get me to thinking, it also made me realize that i take myself,my job and life way too seriously. After reading it for myself I sat my family down and read it to them. Then we talked about it! What a great couple of hours. I think everyone should read this book and take it's simple message to heart. All of you that trash this book, need to lighten up and not take yourself, or life so seriously! Go find your CHEESE!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a good personal guide
Review: This book has given a personal guide to many people, especially in this fast changing world. Nothing will be consistent. Today is the world of digital, tomorrow may be another world that you never think of. Being keep up with the environment is an important issue. However, most people do not believe that, they always do the things in the same way, one to all rules. ¡§Who move my cheese?¡¨ has given me a strong insight to rethink about our usual practice. The mice and the two men in the story have reflected the personality of most people and it may bring a significant change to you. Like the character in the story, the shorter man- ham doesn¡¦t believe that the cheese has been eaten and he had to find another new place. Then, finally he was dead by his stubborn action. And this is the fact of the reality. People really need to be more flexible and understand their environment. Otherwise, they may have the fate just like ham. It is really a worth reading book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Yes, Change is Scary and Difficult at Times.......But
Review: Change. It's a part of our lives. Sometimes we welcome it, and sometimes it is shoved down our throats. I have always resented change that was forced on me, but after reading this book, I began to look at it in a different way. "Cheese" is a simple story, and the principles almost seem too simple to implement in a complex world, but after reading this book, I believe you will be empowered and inspired to regain the order in your life the next time someone "moves your cheese."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enough cheese for everybody
Review: Who moved the cheese is a little book of only 94 pages of easy reading that should be in every home,business,and etc...

Its written for all ages, the story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights can last for a lifetime.

Who moved the cheese? is a story about change. cheese being a metaphor for what we want to have in life.

as I write this review I was amaze of all the 827 reviews written, some excellent,good,bad,and sad. but, the point is that people read the book and took time out of their busy schedule to write a customer review. That alone should be the very reason that everyone should buy this book.

I have read many top sellers with over 300 pages but with very little customers reviews. I wonder why? could it be that very few people finish them? yet, with who moved the cheese everyone got something to say. I wonder why? because its small and easy to read!!!

while I was browsing in the book store my wife(lovely)came across the book(who moved the cheese) and started reading it and was going to buy it until I told her we already had it. She looked at me with wandering eyes, as if, I had been holding out on her. Like I said before, its a book for everyone including your spouse,friend,co-workers. So, crawl,run,leap and buy this one. "A CLASSIC IN THE MAKING"
