He was okay. He's interesting enough and tells great stories but it felt a bit brief.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

In the end I was a bit disappointed in the book - stretched a point too far. The book ran out of steam 2/3rds of the way through. Talented writer not afraid to tackle obtuse subjects.

Ronson's always been like this. What other writers limit to two or three chapters he inflates to a book.

Plus the fact that he often contradicts his own arguments.
