For those sick of corporate scandals and underhanded business practices, laughter may be the best medicine. A hilarious parody of the classic bestseller Who Moved My Cheese, Who Stole My Cheese?!! offers a little lift in an otherwise challenging situation. Inside is an insipid tale that reveals profound truths about greed. It's a cloying yet inspiring story of four small characters -- two rats and two "loyal employees" -- who are trapped in a "maze" and looking for their share of the "cheese" to sustain them and bring them happiness.

Although this book is a parody, it provides more insight into the corporate world than Who Moved My Cheese. It presents the reality of the work environment from the low level workers' point of view. It seems especially relevant with Enron and Arthur Anderson and Martha Stewart and everything else that is going on. Take an hour. Read it. Have a good laugh.

I cherished "Who Moved by Cheese?" -- the cheesy story about change, business and life-in-general. Even more than Johnson's book, I love Hochberg's parody, "Who Stole My Cheese?"
Talk about appropriate for the time... From Florida's elections to Enron, WorldCom and Martha Stewart, Hochberg makes us laugh as well as provokes us to take a long, hard look at ourselves, our society and what is or is not flourishing. This book is noteworthy, and should be read by everyone!
It is a remarkable gift - both the book and its message.
Where are you moving next, Hochberg, as I need another good laugh?

This was a fun story that poked fun at the major corporations which failed and/or had their execs sent to prison for a spell. The main reason I wanted to read it was because I detest the condescending "parable" of "Who Moved My Cheese" and the fact that it was so quickly embraced by HR and middle management. I was hoping to see mockery of that mentality. "Who Stole My Cheese" didn't exactly parody the parable. Instead, it used the predecessor as a model for other lessons, and it was a humorous correlation.

Original ideas? Not so much...
Not sure if this is some type of spin-off of the original or part of a series. However, I recommend that you simply pick up this five minute read at the library and use the $ saved... Read more

makes a good, quick point
My only complaint is that I think the price is high for a book that can be read in an afternoon. The story, however, is very interesting. Read more
