I would swear that the authors watched my last boss to make their description of the Scorpio Boss. This person did everything that was listed in book. I would say that if you want to understand/survive your boss, you should get this book!

if you work for one of the twelve bastards listed in this book. If you enjoy British wit you should purchase this book, then by all means take it to work where you will be a hit when you convene with coworkers-snickering of course at the complete idiocy of the bastard in charge. And, if you aspire to be the boss- you can gain insight into your own bastard destiny. The wee cost of this book, and the fact that it made me laugh out loud more than once, made it worth the 4.99 I paid at B&A.

I'm not very into astrology, but I once was and this book was cheap. The cover looked funny, so I figured it'd be worth the couple dollars. I was so right.

The book draws on some actual astrological stereotypes, but it's also rather satirical - imagine Matt Groening writing all of the descriptions. Each section includes advice on such things as how to get a raise from that particular type of boss and how to get his or her job. Like the rest of the description, they're exaggerated to the point of sheer hilarity.

Of particular interest for me were the descriptions for Capricorn and Virgo. I'm a Capricorn, I own a beige suit and I like to know everything. My mother's a Virgo and is organized beyond belief.

If you or an astrology lover you know has a bastard boss (and you know you/they do), then definitely get this book. It's a laugh and a half!
