A story about how the management consulting companies really behave, or rather, so would the authors like you to think. The book is biased, prejudiced,and makes some very strange conclusions, which only can seem reasonable if you've never worked at higher than supervisor roles in a larger company. Sure there is a lot of truth in mismanagement of clients by consulting companies, but these stories are so grossly exagerated, that it doesn't make sense. This seen already in the first chapter, when the authors are indignant and implies that the consulting firms that doesn't disclose exactly what they have done at a customer to an outside reporter, is suspect of wrong-doing! Hey, all reporters that doesn't make a full disclosure about their sources, must be suspect as well (morons)!

It is mildly amusing, but a bit dry.
