I think if you consider the iconoclastic style, quirky writing, and isightful thoughts, you don't have to compare the book to anything, just learn from it. Try keeping PERT and CPM simple... read and learn.
WAAAAY OUT THERE

I read the book with a skeptic's eye, based on the mixed review this book has been getting from all around the world. I did pick up some interesting points. Although, the meshed-in look of the book, with the absurd "ideas" for Project Manager is not very realistic, I think the book has a solid ground on theoritical aspects.I liked very much the Review Techniques, as I can completely relate to it, and it is nice to have some advice on the "people" perspective.All in all, I can;t say that this is the best book on Project Management, but if you lay your prejudjments aside, it can be a very very interesting read.Patrick J.London 2004

Hmmmmmm.... Odd odd odd. But worth the read, even to get some ideas that are quite different from "normal" PM.
I may be limiting Mr. Ajani's book by by saying "for experienced Project Managers only". But I really had to read this book twice, before it really hit me.Giving this book a cursory glance will be more harmful then good, but do not let this fact set you out from reading this "out of this world" Management book.Keep in mind that this is, in fact, an "extreme" book.Henry Jocobs
PHILOSOPHICAL & RADICAL!!!!!!!!

I probably could not put into words a book such as this.I can see how a new Project Manager can pick up this book, and think it is a manual of some sort. This book is NOT meant for newbies and greens. This is a hardcore book for seasoned PM's only. Having said this, now you can read this, even if you are green :)If you are so, then you will find humor and insight. But beware how you use it!Enjoy!Harry T.
