"Everyone at work was given a copy of this book. It took about half an hour to read, and I definitely understand why our company saw fit to give everyone a copy of this book in hopes that they would read it.
It's all a metaphor for change and dealing with change, and the points it makes are good ones and true to boot. It just wasn't written terribly well. The intro and outro sounded like a jr. high school student wrote them. I guess the whole thing did, really, but because the story is such a simple one about mice and Littlepeople and cheese finding, it didn't bother me. Yes. Mice and Littlepeople.
The writing was a bit condescending, now that I think about it, and the "plot".. well I've seen pornos with a better plot. I'm speaking of the excuse they make to tell the cheese story in the first place. But the message has been received: Things will be changing at my job, so I had better get used to the idea and learn to like it. Not that I really need to worry about that anyway, I like to think I'm pretty flexible and not anti-change or anything. And I get that this was written for the masses, and the masses may not feel condescended to at all.
But would I suggest you this book? Maybe if you're at the dentist's office and they happen to have a copy and you accidentally showed up 30 minutes early to your appointment. Then yeah, go ahead and read it.
Unless they have a copy of Highlights.
But you know what? HEY FREE BOOK! Really, you can't beat that with a stick."
"This book changed the way I look at life. The author writes a very entertaining analogy comparing the reactions of two little people and two mice when their cheese (ambitions, jobs, way of life, etc.) disappears. You'll want several copies to share with co-workers, family and friends!"
"If you deal with people you need to read this book. Quick read but will be one of your favorites. Whether you are a mom, dad, school leader, supervisor, or volunteer you will benefit. Buy a used copy, read it, then give it to someone else to read."
