Idiots at Work: Chronicles of Workplace Stupidity par Leland Gregory
By the author of What's the Number for 911? and What's the Number for 911 Again?, this is a compendium of the genius-level cognition too many of us deal with in the workplace every day. The author (or compiler, I suppose) has an unfortunate tendency to offer bad puns. Nonetheless, this book will cause you to laugh out loud.
If you like your history with a bit a humor, then this book will fit your fancy. Don’t expect to learn a lot of details from it, and I would suggest further research for any tidbits you are really interested in, but it was interesting and entertaining. It’s a quick read, so you won’t have to invest a lot of time to get a varied slice of a lot of history.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.The history tidbits were mostly inane and not particularly interesting. Neither my husband, nor I were impressed with this book or its accuracy.
Not even going to bother reading after trying and failing to make it 10 pages into another book of this author's. Life is too short to read bad books.
