I am here to warn you that this book is nothing more than a parody of the things that typically happen within an organization. I was looking for something constructive to use and perhaps buy as gifts for others I know whom are also graduating. This book has proven to be a waste of time for me now. Perhaps when I have lived the life of business for a few years, then I can come back to this book and appreciate its' humor, but now is certainly not that time.

The book I wound up with was recommended by my dean and it is called, "Secrets to Winning at Office Politics : How to Achieve Your Goals and Increase Success". It is definitely the book I was looking for. It is serious and has a great way of relating the topics to the uninitiated. Even if none of the topics within it's pages come true, at least I am in the right frame of mind to be able to realize and absorb whatever does come.

This book is hilarious! I found out about it when I read a review in the newspaper and went to the website to view sample spreads of the book: soarabovethemadness.com This book perfectly describes some of the stuff we laugh about in our office. One of the funniest parts is near the end where there is a place to make up secret office code names for co-workers! I highly recommend this book for anyone who is stuck in a cubicle and needs some fresh air and a good laugh.
