A nice read.. Started off in an awesome way. Was a bit dragging towards the end. Lots of things to laugh.

And if you're not reading his blogs or not following him on twitter, start soon. ( )

It's one of the most hilarious book which is based on corporate culture.

The author's sense of humor is the main plus point of this book and it does have some hilarious moments. However, the main downside being the narration style from the pages of a diary, which kind of takes the drama out of the events and makes it monotonous as the story progresses. ( )

Dork is a quick, easy and funny as hell read about roller-coster ride of a recent IIMA graduate. Book specifically caters MBA audience because many terms and incidents are not explained to those unfamiliar with MBA and Consulting culture but it connects so well with those who do. I chuckled every few pages and roared with laughter at three occasions, which is an achievement for a book! Detailed review at http://clutterfrommymind.blogspot.com/2010/06/dork-book-review.html ( )
