Customer Reviews

looking through the corporate world from a circus point of view

One Clown Short takes you through the corporate world looking at it as a 3 ring circus. The author combined the humorous outlook of everyday company work, into a three ring circus. All clowning around aside, this book is light hearted and humorous. I chuckled through as I related circus life to the corporate world. I recommend for a quick read that leaves you laughing.

Ringmaster Chronicles

This is a fun and quick read, and when you need to fill that empty space between flights, this book fits the bill. While the book is pure fiction, if you've spent any amount of time in the bedrock of corporate America, you are sure to recognize a few characters or scenes that ring true for you. If a 3-ring circus is something spectacular, tumultuous, entertaining, or full of confused action, you'll enjoy this book.

Working in the Big Top

If you have ever worked in corporate America and thought "I'm working in a circus!" you'll get a kick out of this book. Mandy finds herself at Big Top Supplies that takes the circus theme to its ultimate, complete with employee clown uniforms for special occasions and piped in caliope music. You'll relate to the managers who speak only in Pig Latin and the staff meetings where no one is allowed to speak at all. After Mandy uncovers corporate corruption, it becomes clear that beyond the humor and the satire "One Clown Short" is a look at the reality of big business at more than just the circus.

What a way to clown around!

If you have ever worked for a big corporation and wonder how they stay in business with the dim-witted decisions the upper management makes this book will provide you with a funny insight into the "clowns" that run businesses. You will find yourself saying, "Hey, we have that clown working for us, too!" This book is a quick read and is perfect for those who need a bit of laughter in their day. My only question is, why are circus peanuts orange?

my sister

My sister has written a fine book that makes fun of corporate America and at the same time keeps us guessing as to what really is happening and what is going to happen--mystery and nonsense among the ring masters of clowns. She swears that everything in the book is "Real". If we have ever held a job, we may swear to that too.
