Not a big deal!

Another business book from bestseller list. Does it really help your vision? I do not think so. It is simple, well written, easy to read book. But, I did not get anything from it. If you have really have time, go ahead and read it. By the way, it takes only 45 minutes to finish it.

Thank you Captains Obvious for the groundbreaking ideas!

The authors try to dress up common sense in a "parable" that will make anyone with any sense of the literary cringe. Don't waste your time on this unless you want to study how not to write a book.The writing is awful and the attempts to illustrate what they consider to be deep nuggests of wisdom are laughable. The book is corny in the sense of "gee-golly-whiz Mr. Manager, duh, why didn't I see that. Boy oh boy, by gompers, you're so wise and I want to be just like you!" Book summary: If you want to be effective at work, use common sense, be honest but fair in your praises and criticisms, and master some basic social skills. Really? Wow! That's deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Here's what I think...

A simple, straightforward story that provides handy advice for anyone who has to manage people. To boot, most should be able to finish it in a few hours time. Truly a classic, I give it 5 stars easy. Other self-help books I liked include "The No- Beach, No-Zone, No-Nonsense Weight Loss Plan, A Pocket Guide To What Works. Happy reading!
