Wall Street Journal
"Outrageous, delightful ... If the precepts in 'The Adventures of Johnny Bunko' help some slackers open nail salons or become billionaires in some offbeat business, that's all to the good"

Forbes
"Hard-hitting and informative yet bursting with optimism . . . Pink has a knack for teaching in such an entertaining way that you'll forget you are learning."

"The ideal gift for those in need of a career shakeup who claim they have no time to even think about next steps."

Customer Reviews

Review of the Kindle Edition: manga on eReader not so hot.
The story and art are great fun, and are well-summarized already in other reviews. "One Minute Manager" meets "Spider-Man" is about right. I'd like to focus on the electronic version I bought.

I read this slim little book on my Kindle, having ordered it on a recommendation. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it was a manga book (which you may call a "graphic novel," "comic book," or "funny papers" depending on your demographic orientation). I've since learned that the Kindle isn't really well-suited to this format. Why?

- the file size is much larger than the average all-text book (longer initial download);
- the refresh rate of e-ink is annoying when you're turning pages quicker than an all-text book;
- the Kindle's screen contrast isn't quite high enough to have the black-and-white art "pop" as it would on the page (it's like reading it on dingy gray newsprint);
- resolution not quite high enough to read all the balloon text without eyestrain.

I also noticed some unique technical problems with this particular conversion:

- a thin line of black pixels down the spine edge of many pages, as if the electronic scan wasn't cleaned up;
- a page-turning bug which might be related to the large file size or a memory overrun: I thought I was missing some content when the "next page" button advanced me several pages at a time instead the expected one-page-at-a-time.

Based on this experience, I don't be getting any more graphics-heavy books for the current version of the Kindle. I never considered the Kindle to be a comics-delivery device, and this iffy conversion proves the point.

Coaching brilliance
This comic book is brilliant in its coaching approach to dealing with the real life issue of being dissatisfied with you career. It offers true coaching approaches in a light hearted easy to read manner.

A must read for anyone who is looking for fulfillment and life calling.
