My boss forced me to read the original, and it practically killed me. This book took some of the pain away (though not the recurring nightmares). As for some reviewers charges of "crudeness" and ethnic stereotyping, I found Brown's coarser jokes to be a refreshingly politically incorrect tonic. It's also what I would expect from the managing editor of National Lampoon. Funny and edgy.I also liked the parallels to "Heart of Darkness," and the progression into madness and death, but maybe that's reading too much into a parody book with a fart pun for a title.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate this humor didn't read the original book (and therefore don't understand the utter stupidity and why it deserved to be mocked by the creation of this one).The original, "Who Moved my Cheese?" Is the biggest piece of garbage ever written... so of course it's a bestseller. One should probably read this (but for God's sake, don't buy it!) before reading this book.... and once you do, you'll be glad you did.I noticed that one reviewer didn't appreciate the humor, so I just wanted to point out that this was a parody: it is meant to have the crude humor that it used, because as crude as it is it isn't anywhere as crude as the technique used in the original. =)As for me, I relate to the hands... (read the darn book to understand =) )-J.H.C.
Funny and Puny

Mason Brown has written a funny and puny tome that takes coporate backstabbing and the art of covering your ... to a whole new level. I laughed. I cried. (Because I was laughing so hard.) I thoroughly enjoyed this book. So much so that I bought additional copies for my "corporate" relatives who are sure to appreciate this tantalizing treat when it pops up in their Christmas Stockings.A must read for all! Especially, those sick of the... feel good, new age, business tomes that have been increasingly and annoyingly showing up on the Best Seller Lists across the country.
A Funny Fall Surprise

I picked up Mason Brown's "Who Cut The Cheese?" on a pre-jury duty visit to my local bookstore. I had been looking for anything to pass the time at court - and I ended up discovering this comic gem! It's been a long time since I have laughed out loud from a book, but "Who Cut The Cheese" had me giggling in the jury waiting room. Several other prospective jurors wondered what I was reading, and I ending up sharing the book with three other people. Thank you Mr Brown, you made jury duty a lot more fun for us!

Mason Brown's "Who Cut the Cheese?" is a hilarious book depicting corporate America in its truest light. The book is wonderfully funny! I enjoyed it so much that I couldn't resist buying more copies to send to my friends and relatives. It's a great stocking stuffer if you like funny gifts.
