Rating:  - If you like this book you are a nerd, the kind that wears dockers up to your navel and plays D&D until you're well into your 70s
I fail to see the humor in this book. I work in an office and I find the book to be perpetuating the same sort of eerily conformist corporate culture that the book jacket claims the book will lampoon. This book is for robots who have given up their humanity and want to pretend to laugh at their own misfortune. It's less "Office Space" and more "Human Resources Instructional Video: Now in Book Form!" Still waiting for the punch line...
Rating:  - An amusing idea that couldn't sustain an entire book
This book is like a good SNL skit idea turned into a bad movie. It makes long-winded, ironically intended observations about cubicle life that often left me yawning. If you have never worked before, it might be slightly useful to you. Otherwise, I'd say its practical advice is obvious. And its humor is luke-warm.
Rating:  - good humor
Fun book to read, although I was lost towards the last chapters especially when locking things done in your cube, using "Caution - Yellow Police Tape". It would attrack more looks to your area, which counterpoints his claims. Anyway, if someone at your office is out to get you, they will get you. So be aware of your surroundings, and be a good corporate citizend. That is all. And yes, I definitely recommend a Rear View mirror. I have one from a co-worker which was his car's sideview mirror, and it does say "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear". Good book, Mr. Thompson!
Rating:  - Fun book about an unfun place
What a fun read! I really enjoyed Thompson's take on life in an office. It's a hoot, but the humor couches some actual-factual advice that readers can truly use. If you've ever worked in an office, there will be more than one passage you wish your current or former co-workers would read and take to heart.
Rating: - show u care!
This was a really funny book that anyone can appreciate. Filled with great "survival" advice, I think it would be a great "cube farm initiation 101" gift for the college graduate entering the corporate world!
