She Must Be Stopped

Lisa is thinking about reading the business bestseller Who Moved My Cheese? One of my specialties at my bookstore are business books. The truth is most of these books are awful reads. They're trite, banal, and full of so many bullet points as to make them Powerpoint presentations printed on paper. Cheese may be the worse. Here's my Amazon review:

This book contains some of the most banal prose I've ever read. The book reads for a sixth-grade reading level. Then there's the obvious theme: accept change. After living in the real world for the past 20+ years, who doesn't know that s/he must accept change? I'm saddened, because of the high sales of this book, to wonder about the literacy level of many managers.
