" Martin Lukes probably went to school with Adrian Mole! I laughed, I cringed. Very funny, backs up all my prejudices concerning large corporations! I say, go freelance, it's the only way! 'I'm smiling at you'! "

" I found this book to be just "ok". I listen to Lucy Kellaway's podcast of her Financial Times column and find her to be wickedly funny. The book was funny, but might have been better if I'd read it on a weekly basis, rather than all at once. "

" I read some of the reviews of this one and can understand why a lot of people didn't like it but I thought it was really good. The main character really is atrocious but I did laugh out loud at times. "

" Arguably better when it was weekly installments in the the FT. Lucy Kellaway remains one of my favorite FT journos, and I'd easily read a collection of her regular columns. "

" Loved it! I love Lucy's writing in the Financial Times so I thought I would enjoy the book. Martin is so unaware of himself it was funny to read but you can totally picture all the emails in any work environment. "

" This is a good relaxing funny read. Novel idea to write the book in the form of email conversations. You love to hate the central character Martin Lukes. I would highly recommend the book to someone who is looking for something light to read.
