"Hysterical and irreverent, written in a style not for everyone. I guess it's a bit like reading a blog written by one of your funnier, more cynical friends. I can relate more than I'd like to admit :P"

“Highly intelligent and deeply funny…[Kihn’s] reconstructed dialogue from within his (unnamed) firm and from his time serving clients is alone worth the price of admission, as is his relentless taunting (by name) of McKinsey, Deloitte & Touche, and others.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“With sharp wit, consultant Kihn tears down myths surrounds the highly profitable and revered management-consulting industry…No activity avoids Kihn’ scathing pen, including his highly critical analysis of business books. This will be popular among those engaged in consulting as well as clients who pay dearly for their advice.”
