Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant!
Review: My boss forced me to read the original, and it practically killed me.

This book took some of the pain away (though not the recurring nightmares).

As for some reviewers charges of "crudeness" and ethnic stereotyping, I found Brown's coarser jokes to be a refreshingly politically incorrect tonic. It's also what I would expect from the managing editor of National Lampoon. Funny and edgy.

I also liked the parallels to "Heart of Darkness," and the progression into madness and death, but maybe that's reading too much into a parody book with a fart pun for a title.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny and Puny
Review: Spencer Johnson's Who Moved my Cheese left a bad taste in my mouth, and this book helped to clear my palate.

Who Cut the Cheese is a very funny book. I laughed out loud in public as I was reading it. The antics of the puny people as they deal with rats, the cheese famine and flatulence are quite entertaining.

Who Cut the Cheese provides a cynical comment on the modern workplace, especially on managers who compensate for their incompetence by being cruel and manipulative. Sometimes the book hits a bit close to home. The advice it gives is accurate and very applicable in today's corporate world, and if you have no scruples, you could go far by applying it. If the book didn't approach the subject with humour, it would be depressing.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Oh my...
Review: Who Moved the Cheese is ripe for a parody. I've only read a little bit of the original, but Mr. Brown's book is devastating and funny. I'm surprised that someone let him get away with it. People don't write books like this anymore.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Crass, ugly. Don't spend your hard earned cash on this book.
Review: Yes, it is a parody of "Who Moved My Cheese". But buy this book only if you are looking to read juvenile bathroom humor, or worse, humor that is sexist and crass.
