Summary: Buy it and enjoy it!
Review: It seems to be a "love it" or "hate it" little book. (..)I'm sure I haven't grown up yet - I loved it!
If you're looking for profound statements and behavioural analysis - forget it. If you want a simple little bedtime read that doesn't tax the brain, but reminds us of some important attitudes we must accept if we are to cope with change, then - BUY IT AND ENJOY IT.
There are many "deeper" books out there that leave me cold.

Summary: Viral marketing at its most virile
Review: This book is a great example of viral marketing. Notice how many times the people in the book drops the hint that you simply have to give this book to a friend...or you have to buy it for all your employees...Just think how progressive it would be for the CEO to include this book with the pink slips!!! The book shows a well developed marketing strategy. The first half is praise for the "cheese" story and tells you how it will change your outlook on everything. The second half is a discussion by friends about how the cheese story was the turning point in their lives. (Both the praise and the discussion dropped several hints about buying the book for everyone you've ever met, and keeping few hundred copies on hand for the people you might meet in the future.) Hey, wait a second, the math doesn't add up...if the first half was a build up and the second half was a discussion...then... Never mind...it does add up. There really was no substance between the previews and summary. But it is a great example of viral marketing. How many people do you think took the bait? Kudos on the marketing! This Spencer Johnson and Kenneth Blanchard are now multi-millionaires.

Summary: Great Children's Book
Review: Yes, this is a book for children, not adults.
It was the joke of our office when it was passed around before many were laid off. I suppose it was to make us ready for change, and management thought this book would help. Well for those in the office it was seen as a ridiculous kiddy story. Overly simplistic and an insult to make the comparison with mice being forced to find cheese elsewhere and a person being laid off and having a $2500.00 morgage to meet, family to support and bills to be paid. I would recommend this book to parents who want to help their 4-7 year olds see that change can be good. For adults, I would recommend reading a book on how to deal with the harsh realities of life. This book does nothing more than make light of changes, which for adults can be extreely painful.

Summary: Cheese or moldy cheetohs?
Review: I guess this book would have been useful to me when I was 19 and struggling with learning to adjust to being responsible for myself away from my parents. However, I believe that even then I would have been insulted at the simplistic language and imagery. Ironies abound, though. This book was handed out to our staff, I suppose, help us prepare for imminent changes in our daily processes. The new procedures had been a year in the making at that point...only technological bugs were left to resolve. Another year went by, with the implementation seemingly no closer. In light of drastically changed economics, including 20% staff reductions, a higher level of management decided the new process was technology for technology's sake and not cost-effective enough to pursue any further. I don't know if those in charge of the project were given a copy of the book when they were told.

Summary: So hard to write an accurate review since..
Review: Since this book applies to a select many people, the ones having difficulty. Difficulty since these people do not know how to adapt to change. There are a great many people who are far less capable than the average reader, the average reader then writes bad reviews. That is the problem, these noncapable people don't read as much, but this book is slowy getting to those by word of mouth. It really is that simple. The book covers basic psychology that will work for persons who have been sheltered, unaware, uneducated, and for many persons who have shunned mainstream living, and these are usually the ones who have social adaptation problems. This book was not intended or written for balanced people who can adapt, it is clearly designed for the incapable. I am happy this book was published, I only hope it reaches the right people. Now think, why did you buy this book, the catchy title?, an expectation for something it is not? If you did that you only supported mainstream advertising. What are my credentials? I am a drug prescribing shrink. I see my share of the incapable everyday, this book is an excellent aid for those.
For those who are disappointed with it, or want more I strongly recommend reading SB 1 or God By Karl Mark Maddox

Summary: An odd, but interesting little book...
Review: This book is very easy to read, with a moral even a mouse could 'get' a few pages in. Although it is very short and easy to read though, I had to keep putting it down as the author's style of writing was a bit odd to my taste. I'd recommend it though, as worthwhile reading in say, a Doctor's/Dentist's office, or while waiting for a flight.

Summary: Who Moved My Cheese
Review: I had already read this book before I bought it. My Dad had checked it out at the library and brought it over for me to read. I am amazed at the negative reviews because there is so much valuable information in this little short book. The reason I bought it was because I knew I would be referring to it often. I am sure you could say the same thing in a 2 inch thick book, but why would you want to spend that much time reading to get the same point across. Sometimes I think people's attitudes are just "sour grapes" for whatever their agenda is.

Summary: So Many Bad Reviews? - Here's a Good one -
Review: I find it quite amusing that so many of the office workers and corporate folk of america have simply trashed this book. They have trashed its simplicity, it's "cheesiness", it's author, and even gone as far to say that if you DO enjoy this book you are a simpleton - At least some of them even admitted that their boss forced them to read it - Which if I was forced to read it by a force in my life I already didn't like, I probably wouldn't have liked the book either. However, for me - It was it's simplicity that I appreciated. The book doesn't claim to solve all your problems, it merely points out how we choose to deal with them - and what some of the outcomes could possibly be - It is meant to be a simple and fast read and possibly light a spark that would help you embrace much needed change - Over analyzing and stating that the book is the evil corporate empires way of keeping mice (*workers*) in a maze is ridiculous - ... I found the book to be endearing, and although I live my life accepting change on a daily basis owning my own business, I found it helpful and reassuring that I'm actually out there making a difference and doing something rather than sitting around complaining that "the writings and teachings of others hasn't quite measured up to my standards and superior intellect" ... Whether you buy it, borrow it, or read it in the bookstore, do so and form your very own opinion on it - I for one liked it very much.

Summary: Read it in an hour.........gain a lifetime lesson!
Review: "Cheese" (what we want in life - money, happiness, love, peace of mind) is a allegorical story about change and how people either adapt to it or resist it. The author cleverly tells a tale about two mice and two "little people" and how they each react when someone "moves their cheese." In this book, you will see that change is inevitable in our lives and we can either be like the mice and simply "search the maze to see where the cheese has been moved", or like the "little people" and lament and become depressed because "the cheese has been moved" instead of trying to find it. This is a great little book and after reading it you may view "change" in a different way.
