Summary: Cartoonish Exagerations, but the message is clear
Comment: I think the book is helpful to anyone having difficulty with any person (coworker, boss, subordinate) at work--but while reading you need to keep in mind these examples are extreme cases.
You can find the characteristics described in these caricatures in any person if you look hard enough, so be careful that your personal biases do not affect your interpretation of the material and/or the personality at work causing you grief.

Summary: Insightful, Entertaining, and Practical
Comment: An absolutely wonderful book -- Wess Roberts has truly done it again! With a fresh synthesis of insight, humor, and practical advice, this book is a great read and a useful guide to solving one of the most perplexing challeges of everyday life: turning dysfunctional relationships into functional ones. I particularly enjoyed his analyses of "Imperious Jerks: Masters of the Universe," "Androids: The Blindly Obedient," "Gatekeepers: The Empowerment Police," and "Perpetual Victims: The Whiners and Bitchers." While reading the book I found myself contemplating the frequent nuggets of wisdom, laughing hysterically, taking notes, and thinking about ways to implement his insights.
The true power of the book is that it opens our minds to looking for opportunities to make the best of our relationships at work. How we deal with dysfunctional people is a matter of personal choice: we can wallow in frustration or try to develop something positive. Wess Roberts offers some terrific ideas, not as "silver bullets" to make the problems go away, but as primers for us to apply our own creative thoughts and ideas to make the most of the unique relationships in which we find ourselves every day. -- Christopher D. Kolenda, Editor and Co-Author: Leadership the Warrior's Art.

Comment: When I picked up this book I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I only knew about Attila the Hun and didn't expect Attila the "Get along with others." The book is terrific. It gave me some real insights about getting along with my employeer.
