Summary: Transitional Help
Review: Yes this is a simple read which is its main redeeming value. I found this book to have been an excellent choice for a company in transition.I had taken over a company that was divided, eroded, dying and not nice to be in. I used this book with the leaders of the company. Weekly we would gather together and I would read this simple story as if it was a bedtime story. The simple sounding story brought the leaders guards down low enough to get the point across of where we were and where we were going. The result was a unified leadership corps that brought us through a difficult time.

Summary: best seller? only proves that americans are lemmings....
Review: I found this book to be irritatingly simplistic and didactic. Yes, it's supposed to be an allegory, but it's too heavy-handed to be cute or impacting. Don't waste your time or money.

Summary: Tremendously condescending
Review: This book is a tremendously condescending parable, bordering on propaganda, about how corporate America doesn't owe you a living. If the last ten years has failed to drum this reality into the American workforce, spending precious money on a badly written story about mice won't do it either. My manager handed these out as gifts one Christmas, which I thought was ironic and in poor taste ("here's a patronizing story likening capitalism to a rat maze, and you, to a rat. Enjoy!") I suggest that everyone considering this book invest instead in one that elucidates the history of American labor, its founding ideals and modern day failures, and then ask themselves whether they agree with the message in "Who Moved My Cheese" (that being, our laziness and lack of creativity as workers solely determines our experience with economic misfortune in this country).

Summary: who cares where the cheese went
Review: I was given a copy of this book several years ago by someone who enjoyed this book. I, however, found it mundane! I didn't have the perspective of hem/haw or the mice. I just wanted trash that maze after reading page after page of the stuff. Life is always "throwing curveballs" and this dinky book just made me hostile and annoyed. There just aren't simple solutions for big problems, we are way more complex than rats in a maze. If everything was as simple as the "metaphorical maze". Empty book for me, if it "helped" anyone, so be it. It only takes an hour to read it. Just check it out at the library instead of buying it, if it was recommended to you. This book will not apply to you if you consider yourself a pessimest.

Summary: The provolone stands alone.
Review: This books cuts it. Grilling adults with cartoonish characters shreds any belief the author values the seasoned age and insight of the average worker/consumer. Grating, to say the least. --Laurel825

Summary: Very Little for the Money
Review: I try to be fair in my reviews. But I was suprised when I got this book. This is the shortest and smallest book I ever bought on Amazon.com, being just 100 pages of large print, 30 pages in regular print? It has this simple message: accept change, adapt to change, embrace change, look out for change, recognise change and do not be afraid to change. End of Story. If you understand that skip the book. Now that you know the plot you do not have to buy this thin book. That is what this book is about except it uses mice as actors and has cartoon pictures of cheese in this heavy plot!!! More seriously it was so so. Maybe some people need a bit of reinforcement and it helps them if somebody writes a book about mice not people. For myself I do not need the mice. Over-rated. Three stars. Jack in Toronto

Summary: A Book About Nothing Novel
Review: "Who Moved My Cheese?" is one of those classic books that tries to seem like it conveys a new, innovative idea while really just repeating an idea that most people have heard all their life. Advocating the common-sense idea that people have to prepare for and react to changes in their life, this story is a dull read, reinforcing ideas that readers have known for years before opening the covers of this narrative. I would not suggest that any reader spend his/her time looking at this book unless they have absolutely nothing else to do. Even then, it would be a waste of time.

Summary: Visions of the Future
Review: Who Moved My Cheese is a very influential book that will open your eyes to your personal, as well as business, mistakes. It is short but powerful and very thought provoking. In todays world approach means everything. Sometimes we become complacent which spells death in a rapidly changing world. Spencer Johnson creates a memorable and lasting image to remind us of how to not only deal with change but how to see change comming and move with it. By the end of the book you will know which character represents you.

Summary: Cheese is good!
Review: This is the kind of book that I recommend to everyone. It is a very useful guide for people who find it difficult sometimes to face changes of any kind. It takes you less than one hour to read it, but the insights you will find there are unique and will be of great help. It is a funny story about four characters who live in a maze and look for cheese to nourish them and make them happy. Of course, the cheese is only a metaphor for what people want to do in life (a good job, a relationship, money, health, etc.). Life is seen here as a maze, the place where we look for what we want. I was fortunate to participate also in a training course on this book, which really helped me understand even better its meanings. I think that many people from my company should read that! I highly recommend this book to all who want to learn how to deal with change in life, so that they will suffer less and enjoy more success.

Summary: Cheese Whiz
Review: "Who Moved My Cheese?" is a follow-up story, a part two if you will, to the author's first inspirational novel "Who Cut the Cheese?" Both stories stink just the same.
