My Thoughts:



                This is the first time I have read such a book which tells us what each of us at some point of life have gone through. The different types of people we meet and how initially we all are awkward on the first day but later on make good friends. If you are someone who goes to office you are about to encounter your life in this book.



                The language is simple and easy and the readers can go through the book easily.



                The writing style of the author is very good and the narration is made in first person which makes the book even more interactive. I have to say that the author has done a keen observation and has identified all the different types of people we find in an office.



                Overall I loved the concept of this book and would surely recommend it all the office goers and to someone who wants to know what office life looks like.



My Rating: 4/5
