Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Staying Flexible in Life (and writing styles)
Review: It's a simple idea, related through a simple story of mice and little people, yet the story conveys an important philosophy of life and business that could otherwise be easily overlooked. Yes, it really is only 93 pages (including drawings and a very airy format), but reading this is a small investment for a worthwhile reward. My point off is for a very self-aggrandizing class reunion segment where they praise the very book you're reading. I wondered how this was possible.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: We've been bought out!
Review: This may be a common sense book for those who have not read it. I was strongly suggested to read the book after we were acquired. I found it to be easily readable, may even be intended for the children of the parent that lives with uncertainty in the workplace. There is no loyalty anymore, and those that are delusional enough to think they will be working in the same place until retirement are kidding themselves. This book is a strong cup of coffee for those that have become complacent in thier daily routines.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 1 star, but only because the pages were numbered correctly
Review: It's been said that you could put a hundred monkeys in a room with typewriters and they would eventually come up with a literary effort to rival Shakespeare. My guess is that it would only take one monkey about ten minutes -- with a five minute banana break built in -- to surpass this slice of individually-wrapped nonsense.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Inspirational and Truthful!!
Review: This is definitely a book that anyone can relate to family, work, or relationships. Your children could view the story as a fairy tale. You can relate to each character in the book. I immediately related it to my work environment and the various interactions I have with my peers. It is very easy to remain in your "comfort zone" rather than facing change head on and adapting. It is a short book(less than 100 pages) which I highly recommend. It can easily be read in a couple of hours.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good book.....
Review: You can read into this book what you want and I believe it goes way beyond the work place. In daily life, in future life....it has something for anyone if you can read between the lines and I know everyone can identify with at least one character or parts of characters within the story. Yes, it is a 'cute' parable that is not earth shattering but it has a lot of meaning if you let it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Simplistic book with a disturbing, unsatisfying moral
Review: This book is too simplistic, and while the change-is-good message is important, the delivery of the tale is poor. The story-in-a-story convention feels horribly forced and by mixing mice and littlepeople, the author took an easy out rather than work out the story's details.

Because of poor writing, I have concluded from the author's story that: 1) It is good to let a friend starve rather than leave your own comfortable stash of cheese (how Haw left Hem). 2) It is best to act like a rodent.

A better author would have delivered the message with more consistency and greater satisfaction.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Spare me
Review: This is considered a No. 1 business best seller? Give me a break. My 10-yar-old daughter could write a more detailed book. This is the rip-off of the year. I can't believe I fell for this. I only wish I had back the 25 minutes it took me to read it. Don't waste your time, or your money!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Join the Sheep
Review: I was handed this book and told to read it for a corporate retreat. After finishing it I quickly updated my resume and started looking for a new job.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Drivel
Review: A "cute" story with an insidious message that we should suspend moral judgment on changes wrought by our corporate/political masters, accept that we are powerless to resist them, abandon our friends and colleagues, and pursue immediate gratification like rodents in a maze. It is, however, mercifully brief.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everything in this book I've known ,but I never did it right
Review: I know everything in my life will change, the stock I own will turn around,but I did nothing ,until they went smell. I wish I'd sensed the changing from beginning.But now I will. I'll move with the chess.
