"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" — julie (4 out of 5 stars)

“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.”
“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.”
" Wow, this may be worst-written book I have ever read. Or tried to read rather, because his train-of-thought style is just too difficult to follow. "
" Hilarious, and kind of true... "
" It's sort of a parody of the B books, not as good as the show to be sure "
" As a management consultant myself, it was fun to be the target of Marty's acerbic wit. "
" a poor man's Monkey Business. i want my money back "
" some scary memories of IBM brought back from this reading. "
