Who Moved My Cheese? By SweetMeg214 on Sep 21, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I recently read a book that my company has distributed to everyone. If you're already rolling your eyes, you know exactly how I felt. This book is titled "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spencer Johnson. In short, I am not a fan of this book. I'm sure that the fact that I had to read it and then discuss it during my department's weekly team meeting did not add to my opinion of the book, but I digress. This book is over-simplified and juvenile. And it is supposed to be that way! It follows four friends that live in a maze. Sniff and Scurry, two mice, and Hem and Haw, two little people. That's right, mice and little people. So everyday Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw are fed cheese. They don't know where it comes from, but they eat it every day. One day, the cheese is no longer there. Sniff and Scurry quickly leave to find new cheese while Hem and Haw stay behind and wait for more cheese to come. Eventually, Hem leaves to find Sniff, Scurry and more cheese, but Haw stays behind. He is afraid to change. I get the message, but its simplistic nature bothers me. It was difficult to read. Some people say that this book has changed their life. I just say, not this one.
