Media Reviews

‘An entertaining book we can all enjoy… highly informative and amusing.’

-- Daily Mail

‘Full of valuable insight on effectively navigating the interviewing process, this is a must-read for those looking to nail their next interview.’

* Publishers Weekly *

‘Thought-provoking… Clearly, Poundstone isn’t talking about fighting ducks at all, although you’ll have plenty of fun deconstructing the analogy with logical analysis.’

* E&T Magazine *

‘[An] entertaining headscratcher.’
