eh, it's just floating around my office. So I'm reading bits when the power or internet kicks off.

[Yousseif Abdellatif · Rating 4 out of 5]

Honest reaction to Communicating at Work: Strategies for Success in Business and the Professions: I wanted to throw it across the room at least twice and I couldn't stop reading. Ronald B. Adler writes a narrator who's smug, sharp, and wrong about almost everything, and the scene where he corrects a bartender's pronunciation of his own bar's name is pure second-hand embarrassment. By page 250 I was oddly invested in whether he'd learn anything. For readers who like a flawed lead they love to hate. Skip it if you can't spend a whole book with a jerk.
