5.0 out of 5 stars Best for Those Who Like to Be the Life of the Office, January 6, 2003
By Liljill (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This is a very funny book. I recommend it for anyone who wants to bring a little life into his/her office. Best of all, the tricks listed inside the book really work!

4.0 out of 5 stars College Enhancer, October 17, 2001
By Andre Pinet (Sussex, NB, Canada) - See all my reviews
As a college student, I don't do much work anyway, but this book increased my fun about 1 million fold. I can now "amaze" my "friends" with manuvers like the "Credit Card Buzz"! A must have for the serious procrastinator.

2.0 out of 5 stars mildly entertaining, July 9, 2008
By Brad Jackson (austin, tx usa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's mildly entertaining and a little out-dated with the tricks for the office. Save your money.
