Rating: Summary: useless toilet humor Review: a second star is given for the two times it made me chuckle. but if you're trying to decide wether to spend your 13 dollars on this book or in the diner down the street on a cheeseburger and a strawberry shake, opt for the cheeseburger. unless you are a fan of fart jokes and toilet humor, which i haven't found funny since the age of 9, don't buy this book. there's simply not much there.
Rating: Summary: A Funny Fall Surprise Review: I picked up Mason Brown's "Who Cut The Cheese?" on a pre-jury duty visit to my local bookstore. I had been looking for anything to pass the time at court - and I ended up discovering this comic gem! It's been a long time since I have laughed out loud from a book, but "Who Cut The Cheese" had me giggling in the jury waiting room. Several other prospective jurors wondered what I was reading, and I ending up sharing the book with three other people. Thank you Mr Brown, you made jury duty a lot more fun for us!
Rating: Summary: It's about time! Review: It's about time that a parody on "Who Moved My Cheese" appears in the market. Now we already got two parodies. I bought Mason Brone's one in a bookstore in Hongkong, where it was placed side by side to the absolutely not funny original cheese book. Let's see in which company managers have the guts to distribute Brown's parody. The book also will be translated into other languages - which is somewhat of a challenge, as the meaning of "Who Cut the Cheese" won't be conveyed well to the readers after a word-by-word translation. (In Japan I wait for a WhoMovedMyTofu as response to WhoMovedMyCheese.)
Rating: Summary: A good antidote to Who Moved my Cheese 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.
