Amazon Exclusive: Seth Godin Reviews Rework
Seth Godin is the author of Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip, Purple Cow, All Marketers Are Liars, and Permission Marketing, as well as other international bestsellers. He is consistently one of the 25 most widely read bloggers in the English language. Read his exclusive Amazon guest review of Rework:
 This book will make you uncomfortable. Depending on what you do all day, it might make you extremely uncomfortable. That's a very good thing, because you deserve it. We all do. Jason and David have broken all the rules and won. Again and again they've demonstrated that the regular way isn't necessarily the right way. They just don't say it, they do it. And they do it better than just about anyone has any right to expect. This book is short, fast, sharp and ready to make a difference. It takes no prisoners, spares no quarter, and gives you no place to hide, all at the same time. There, my review is almost as long as the first chapter of the book. I can't imagine what possible excuse you can dream up for not buying this book for every single person you work with, right now. Stop reading the review. Buy the book.--Seth Godin

 A decent read though could have gone more indepth September 6, 2010
S. Rafiq (Blackburn, UK)
This "book" really is a collection of short essays. Some are very short. The message that is conveyed throughout the books is that you can do the same if you
: keep your day job and start your business in your spare time
: learn the in and out of marketing and customer care
: stay within your means
: plan each day as it comes and don't think too far down the line
Its nice to know that a successful company can be built on such simple principles. I was also happy to read that they agree with me, CV's are a waste of time. The real content is in the cover letter, the interview and their interest in you. I'v always thought that. Hey, I would never give references that gave me a bad rep., would you?
I have taken some of the principles from the book and I am doing my best to implement them in my company. Mainly, stay away from outside investment. Start the software small (minimal) and grow it as you go along. It doesn't need to be complete. Get known in the community rather than in the press. Use whatever tools you know or can learn quickly - don't hunt around looking for "the best", it doesn't exist.
However, some essays were far too short and some set off on slight tangents and I really didn't get much out of those. In the book they talk of how they cut the content by half, they cut out too much. Otherwise I would have given it a 5 star rating...if nothing more than its worth a read.
I have recommended this book to my friends and colleagues. It is a quick read and well worth it even if they just get one idea out of it.

This book is exactly what I would expect from a business guide. Simple recipes for success provided in a way that's very easy to digest.
You really need to reed it if you think you can't succeed without investing a lot of money and resources - because you can and 37 Signals will show you how.
REWORK is REVOLUTIONARY August 9, 2010
Elliott Porter (Bristol, UK)
Buy this book if you are interested in starting a business or already running one. It's brilliant. Very easy to read and full of relevant and inspiring views that have been proven by Jason and David @ 37Signals.
I will keep this book with me and refresh my ways of working regularly with the advice written. Thank you both for the inspiration!

Read the Table of Contents and you are done with it.
Not worth.
