This is a show of real dedication for humor. Loved the website. Loved the game. Now I find myself in less be with the employee handbook too.

[Rebecca · Rating 1 out of 5]

Why did I read this? Because a friend ended up with a free copy and handed it to me, and I needed something mindless to read over my breakfast cereal.

This blatant cash-in attempt mimics actual employee handbooks a little too closely for true humor value, and goes for cheap, repetitive jokes instead of true satire. (Sample running jokes: If you screw up, we will kill you. You can't find us and we can't find you. Samurai are bad.) There's a handful of mildly amusing lines here or there, but they clearly had a page count to hit, and overall, it's rather tedious.

I'm going to guess that 95% of the books sold will be to clueless non-geek parents and friends desperately looking for a gift for a loved one, who say to themselves "Doesn't Johnnie/Joanna like this game? I bet s/he'll love this!" and snap it up, rather than actually asking the poor kid what they want for his/her birthday.

Je suis un fan du Jeu Ninja Burger, mais quand j'ai vu qu'il existait un guide de l'employé j'ai tout de suite sauté dessus.

La seul raison pourquoi je donne pas 5 étoile a ce livre, c'est qu'il est trop court et qu'une personne qui connait pas le concept n'aimera surement pas le livre. Sinon si vous êtes un fan du jeu, ce livre est vraiment une gâterie.

Non seulement il approfondi le concept et explique comment travail un membre du personnel du Ninja Burger restaurant, mais en plus il explique la job plus en détail rendant le jeu de base encore plus intéressant.

Pas grand chose de plus a dire que ce livre est vraiment très drôle mais trop court a on goût.

Recommandé pour tous les fan du jeu, ou pour toute personne ayant déjà travaillé dans un fastfood.
