Rating: - Amazing little book that has tranformed my life (I joke you not)
I have been going through an intensive 2 years of being bullied by a manager that I have come to the conclusion is a psychopath. I quit a month ago (I should have moved when I realised that ghastly smell of rotting kraft cheese spread wasn't really cheese at all!... You will understand when you read the book...)
I was actually looking for some ideas about how to present a 'short guide to psychopathic management' as a spoof management 'how not to' tool (if you are a publisher let me ... Read More

I guess the book's okay if you consider yourself to be a mouse, that its legitimate for unseen others to experiment upon you and that you should just go with it when they do. The book leaves little room for the kind of critical insight that might lead 'mice' to escape the maze or simply to give up cheese.
It's not a book I'd recommend to anyone, but I'm sure 'Doctor' Johnson won't miss my sales recommendation.
Rating: - A Kick Up The Butt!
Since reading this book I've bought it for other people, all who seem to be stuck in a rut, or unable to move themselves forward.
It's a very quick and easy read (read it in a couple of hours) but it presents a logic that seems just that ... logical.
If you're scared of change but don't want to continue along the path that you're currently on, this book offers a great perspective. Don't be afraid of what's around the corner ...
