 BAD CD - chapters mislabeled & out of order December 1, 2008
Sound quality was great and the effects kept it interesting. Unfortunately, the computer files were mislabeled so when I put this on my ipod the chapters were rearranged. When I was listening, the chapters were presented out of order. It didn't seem to matter.
This was required reading for me so I don't care about the content. Although, the storyline about the narrator's personal life was too much added drama and negativity.

 What every engineer should know about manufacturing November 26, 2008
Doesn't matter what kind of indusstry you work. If you are an Engineer, or industrial manager, you must read this book, because it's a romance where the author describes the routine of an Industry, the day-by-day activities, pressure, problems, people vanities, etc. I strongly recommend "The Goal" to my friends engineers.
I didn't read yet, The teory of constraints neigther Crictical chain.
Review for the goal November 18, 2008
The book is excellent and an open eye for thinking, finding, and applying methodologic solutions to the daily process activties...
 I bought a business book and a Novel broke out November 15, 2008
For the person that prefers novels to business books this is probably a great resource for learning. As an avid reader of business books, it was hard for me to get through. After listening to, I couldn't read it, I went back to skim read it and try to understand the details to the Theory of Constraints. I guess that's my next read because based upon the raves, there is something I'm missing in the way the story is told.
