Reader Reviews
I don't make a habit of bashing the sincere literary efforts of the independent author, but this compendium of blogger nonsense is not literature, shows no effort except in avoiding depth and substance, and sincerely lacks any redemptive measure of humor. After reading as much of the unorganized swill that I could stomach, I wondered how any reasonable publisher could lend their name to such a document. Then I noticed this statement on the back cover, "This book has answers to questions by a working computer professional, not a staff writer from a book publisher." Putting aside the poor sentence structure (which is a permanent requirement with this book), I realized no publisher of any kind actually published it. The author's own website is the publishing company. If you don't normally find this lack of branding meaningful, consider this a very large, very bright, very red flag. There is exactly one page devoted to the role of an IT manager and one additional page devoted to office politics. Call me crazy but as an IT professional myself, these topics scream for chapter upon chapter of hilarious anecdotes and insights. Instead you get fantastic commentary like, "Computer politics is the most difficult thing to learn for new computer people because most computer people see things as black or white and do not understand that sometimes things are gray." In other words don't waste your time Hacking the IT Cube, otherwise you will end up like me, writing a review bashing the poor IT rube.
