| Who Stole My Cheese | | Author: | Ilene Hochberg | ISBN: | 0762412364 | Format: | Handover | Publish Date: | June, 2005 | | | | | | | | | Book Review | | | Who Stole My Cheese? FROM THE PUBLISHER Who Stole My Cheese?!! is an insipid tale that reveals profound truths about greed. It is a cloying yet inspiring story of four small characters who are trapped in a "Maze" and look for "Cheese" to sustain them and bring them some small measure of happiness, in a relative sense. They are, after all, trapped in a maze... Two are rats named Snivel and Scurvy. And two are Loyal Employees -- named Hid and Hah -- little people who are in indentured servitude to The Boss. The Boss and his lackey, The Accountant Andersen, oversee the "Maze" and make all the rules. They steal all the cheese, cook the books, and shred all the evidence. "Cheese" is a metaphor for what you want to have in life -- a job, romance, time for golf and travel, but especially wealth, so you can buy all of that stuff. And the "Maze" is where you look for what you want. In this case, it symbolizes the Corporation, a stifling environment of mind-numbing monotony. Kind of like your job. In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change. Who Stole My Cheese? Where Did My Job Go? What Happened To My Life Savings? The book offers solutions to these problems and more. It supplies the reader with the secret techniques known and utilized by corrupt CEOs to accumulate wealth without a lot of effort. It will change your life. Written for all ages (even a child can understand it), the story takes less than an hour to read, but its effect will last a lifetime.
