This is the follow-up to "Fat, Forty and Fired" and it falls a little short (pardon the pun). He tells us what his point of view is on a number of different subjects, from sex and religion to euthanasia and doing good. Maybe I didn't need to know the observations of a very short man...

It's weird, because Nigel Marsh was the CEO of the same firm he goes back to after his year off as I used to work at. He was always pleasant, but being that I was a pleb on the bottom rung of the ladder, I didn't really know him. His first book was entertaining, but this seemed to drag on a little. There are some funny bits, but he harps on a little.

On the upside, it doesn't take long to read. He has an easy style of writing and it doesn't take too many sittings to get through this book.

Not as good as the first but still a good, quick read

picked up at the meet-up :)

Picked up at breakfast MeetUp organised by Darwin BookCrossers.

I actually liked this book a lot. Very readable, do-able suggestions. His angle, really, is (1) admitting his own failures (not particularly unusual in this kind of book, (2) demonstrating it is possible to change, (3) recommending small (incremental changes). And he's amusing in a low key way. Given the comments by other readers, I won't try his other book.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

To be released at Sydney October MeetUp (7-9pm)

Picked up at the Meetup at the Crown Hotel. I've looked at this book a couple of times in book stores but have held off buying it... luckily!

Read mostly on a plane trip from Sydney to Honolulu. As previous readers have pointed out, an easy read. There were amusing moments but I thought that it would be more humourous as a whole. A bit more earnest than I expected.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Taken to brunch with TOC (Hawaiian Bookcrossers) at MAC 24-7. A delightful bunch!

Release #56 of the 2008 Tick Tock Challenge.

This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

☻ ☻ ☻

This book was found in the library of Purple58, a very special woman whom I was fortunate enough to meet through our BookCrossing group, the Table of Contents.

Fiercely independent, with a loving heart and a wicked sense of humor, she was passionate about the things she believed in and was willing to stand up and be counted when necessary. She was truly a one of a kind individual, and she will be missed by all of her many friends...who prefer to believe that she's off in Vegas, having a fabulous time and eating as many desserts as she wants.

To be released Saturday, October 29, at the Happy Holly-Day party.

This book is released in memory of BookCrosser purple58, who wanted all of her books to find good homes after she was gone. Please feel free to read it, keep it, pass it on...whatever you wish. If you have something to say about the book, or a memory to share about Holly, please feel free to post it here: she was never shy about sharing her opinions, so she wouldn't expect any less.

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

This book came home from purple58's wonderful send-off with me. I think Holly would have loved her final party and I'm glad I was able to be a part of it. This book will be heading out soon in honor of an exceptional woman who, somewhere, is probably disappointed that she didn't get another chance to give out Christmas gifts. ;)

Tuesday, November 1, 2016: headed for new adventures in Maine...by slow boat (media mail).
