c2005: As it says on the tin. It felt like a compilation of articles from some mens magazine with the same kind of focus on getting something for nothing whether that is a reputation or a free upgrade on a flight. The bits on how to skive through work by messing with your colleagues were quite alarming and oh, so 'me', 'me', 'me' - an attitude that perhaps this current dire economic situation has managed to curtail to a certain extent. " Tucked away amidst the tongue-in-cheek humour of this book are a surprising number of truly terrific tips for saving money, looking better than you do, and getting the most out of life without putting in the hard graft."

On a scale from On a scale from Totally Awesome to Horrifically Awful I'd give it a pretty good. What really made the difference - that is, what took this book from being really awful to pretty good - was that it doesn't take itself too seriously. And in amongst the bits that are a little heavy on the smarmy are some really good tips on how to look your best and get ahead in life. And there's nothing wrong with that.
