The book “Who Moved My Cheese?” is about adapting to changes in life. It
is written by Dr. Spencer Johnson which has influenced a lot of people around
the world. The story is about two mice and two littlepeople living in a maze.
In the maze they have cheese stations and cheese. The mice and littlepeople
faced problems and they had to find new cheese. Although many people liked the
book, I find the story not quite
interesting, but I find the lesson valuable and learned a lot from it. 
After I finished reading the book I realized some things in my life. I
realized that things are going to change and nothing is going to stay the same.
Changes will always occur in our lives and nothing would be permanent. For me
the lesson is really useful in my life. Even though I learned a lot from the
book, the story wasn’t really that exciting. 
The metaphors that the author used could be better (instead of using
cheese, he could use something more interesting to read about). The story line and the things that happened were quite clear. I really wish that the story is
a bit more interesting so that I could enjoy the book more. Most of the things
in this book are metaphors. The maze that the mice and littlepeople are living
in represents our life. Our life has dead ends and we have to find our way
through it. The cheese stations in the
maze represent our comfort zones. The cheese represents something that we want
most and posses. Even the characters in
this book have a meaning. There are four characters: Sniff and Scurry (the
mice) and Hem and Haw (the littlepeople). Sniff symbolizes people who sniff
changes in their lives. Scurry represents people who scurries into action and
do something quickly. Hem and Haw represents the people that are stuck and unable
to move on. 
There are several lessons in this book that I can relate to my life. The
first one is that change happens. In the book it is shown by the cheese that
keeps on moving. In my life changes happen and I have to face them. The second
lesson that I learned is that I should anticipate change. In the book it’s
shown that we should smell the
cheese often so you know when it is getting old. I have to keep on checking the
changes in my life and know when I have to move on and change.
After learning
the lessons in this book I plan to change the way I live. I will anticipate change and be ready. I will not be afraid of the changes that are going to
occur in my life and face them. I will also learn when I should move on, change and not stay in my comfort zone.
I would
recommend this book for people who want to live their life in a better way.
They can learn a lot of lessons from this book and make their life a better
one. I would not recommend this book to people who are looking for interesting
stories to read.
Interesting review. I like what you said about the cheese and the stations being compared to things that surround us in life. I understand the part where you said you learned a lot from the book but didn't enjoy it because it happens to me all the time. We 'appreciate' some books but don't necessarily 'like' them. Might pick this one up soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI read the book when i was like... 7? 8? So i didn't get the point, but now i do. As you described, it is about problems or changes that often occurs in life, and it's up to us how we're going to face them. Good book, and good article Vanessa!
ReplyDeleteHello there! Your review is very nice. I love the way you said 'Our life has dead ends and we have to find our way through it.' It shows us that even though you quite dislike the book, you can still learn about life from it, and maybe us too! Quite interesting review though :). (and perhaps since I haven't read the book, I will, soon). GOOD LUCK VANESSA (!!!!)
ReplyDeleteHey i think its cool for you to have different idea and you use different perspective of people around us. You show that the book is not just about a "lame" story, but there are lesson for a person who read the book. I think you wrote a great article. Please make more article that open the idea and the hidden treasure from a book or a "lame" book that teach us lessons. Good work
ReplyDeleteEven though I haven't read this book your reviews made me want to read it! Your review is amazing though! I love the way you connect this story line with our daily real life situation. And the quotes you made throughout the review is perfect. Good luck Vanessa! :)
ReplyDeleteYour review made the book really interesting to me, although I have never heard of it before. From your description, I got a good insight on the story and, even though I can relate to your criticism as well, do consider reading it. I really like how you explained and pointed towards the metaphors used, it shows that you really understood the book. And at last, I like how you made connections to your own life and brought in your opinion in a constructive, helpful way. I think this is a really good review :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Wow you really made me want to read the book now. The way you explained the things you learned in this book was just lovely! You clearly pointed out the lesson. The lessons you said is very true. and now i think every person who will see this review would also want too read the book. good job! Good luck too. :)
ReplyDeleteYour review is interesting and very nice too. Even though I have never heard of this book before, I am tempted to read it now. I like the way how you have connected this story line with a real life situation. I liked how you described that changes are a part of life and that we should not be afraid of them and face them and the lessons that this book helps us to learn.
ReplyDeleteThis review in my opinion is a bit more of a critique to the book. Even though this has included the main points and also the theme of this book, you seem to still lean on the edge where this book wasn't interesting. However, the critiques are great, you have shown the way it could have been more interesting. A reason to why you don't like this book is maybe because of the target audience, I do know you read books with a lot more weight in them and finds it boring to light read. This is a comment from me, your friend, not knowing what this is about, so thank you then, I hope you get your marks.
ReplyDeleteNice review!! I love your perspective on each character's representations. I think it's great that you dig deeper into what the story is really about. I've never read the book, I haven't even heard of it until now, but I want to read it (even though you said it's not so interesting). Good luck by the way. I hope you get the highest score among your class :D
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really interesting! Although it probably isn't what I would usually read, you made me want to give it a try. I liked how you put a lot of your opinions in this book and you were truthful. The part about metaphors was great and I like the way you structure your review. One thing that I really thought was good about this review was the part where you wrote how it connected with you and your life, and how it changed your perceptions. Hope you get great marks!
ReplyDeleteI like this article because it is interesting. It shows about this book is not just boring and stupid. It also talk about good things about it. I hope you get great marks. It is an awesome article
ReplyDeleteI think this article is very helpful to the public who wish to read it. It clearly explains the criteria of the book while also showing the things you learn from it. After reading this article it defianlty makes me interested to read the book even though it's said to not be a exciting story. Which also shows that even though we might not clearly "love" a book, we can still learn from it's lessons that it has to share. I think this article deserves great marks :)
ReplyDeleteWow this review is very interesting! Now I understand the lessons and morals of this story. Good review, and I really like how you said 'I will not be afraid of the changes that are going to occur in my life and face them. ' well done!! Good luck ness ��
ReplyDeleteat the first time i was like "is that really a tittle of a book". i mean wow seriously "move with the cheese". i love books. a life-changer one. and i believe this book will amaze me as well. the metaphor is important part of a book, you can play on it.
ReplyDeletei love the way you make this review as correspond as the life itself- your life.
"i would recommend this book for people who want to live their life in a better way" this is true. i can see it. so, my conclusion is; this book have a valuable lesson that easily remembered:

ReplyDeleteYou've done a really nice review! I agree with you that this book will teach us a lot about how we should be prepared for changes in life. I'm looking forward to read this book. Also, I'd like to reccomend my friends to read this book. I'm sure reading this book will make me and many people live their life in a better way!
ReplyDeleteYour review explains a lot about the book. The book seems really interesting and it teach us valuable lessons in life. I agree with you that we have to be sensitive to changes in our life and adapt to it, and also step out of our comfort zone to try new things. Hopefully the lessons that you get from this book will guide you to a better life! I will certainly read this book when I get the chance to :)

ReplyDeletethank you Vanessa, now you are getting more and more mature

Nice review! I liked how you included what the author could have did to make the story more interesting. I think that it was really good when you wrote about how the story affects your way of thinking. You also showed how an uninteresting story teaches us a lesson. Good luck! I hope you get high marks!
ReplyDeleteI though you made a great review. i think you put a lot of thought and worked hard on this review. this review has made me interested in reading the book and finding out what the life lessons were. I hope you get a high mark. P:
ReplyDeleteGood review vanessa, you made a good review which we can learn it for our lives. I agree with you that in this world we must face a lot of chalanges. We must face them and not avoid them. Really a good conclusion and review. Goodluck Vanessa
ReplyDeleteGreat review v, i haven't read the book but i did watch the movie and i did find it uninteresting. I understand how it was a bit boring but you made a good review out of it and I agree that we have to know when should we move on and change i know it's hard but it's also for our own sake. Goodluck and i hope you get a high mark!
ReplyDeleteIt was an amazing review! I like it when you're honest in sharing your thoughts about the book. I believe that the book could inspire people. I've learned a lot from your blog, goodluck!(:
ReplyDeleteSplendid. I have not yet seen, or have set my fingers on this book but your review have utterly made me feel the need to purchase this book and flip through the pages. You have caught the attention of the readers of your review by adding vital aspects of the book that an individual may be clueless about. I appreciate this review, and a job well done indeed!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Vanessa. It's a very well written book review. You managed to explain the book quite well. I also like the fact that even though you don't really like the book, you manage to learn quite a bit from the book. I think I will pick up this book and read it too
ReplyDeleteGreat review you've got here! I may find the book uninteresting but i agree on the way you describe the story. I agree that we must move on from the problems in our life and just forget them. I also enjoyed the way you describe how we should get out of our comfort zones!
ReplyDeleteA very well written book review, Vanessa. I enjoyed reading it. I hope you can practice what you have learned from the book. Looking forward to your next piece of writing.
ReplyDeleteWell written book review, Vanessa! Though I haven't read the book as yet, I've learned and can relate the book's message through your review. It's good to know that a simple (or boring ^•^) book can change how we see things in life. Keep reading and keep up the good work! Looking forward to your next book review!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reviewing the book. I liked your review and will remember to give the books to my kids once they can read. Hope you like the next book you read and post another review. Cheers
ReplyDeleteA very honest review! I am not convinced to read the book since I am too old for this, plus you mentioned "uninteresting/not-interesting" for quite a few times here hahaha! But oh how I am amazed with what you've learnt from this book. You remind me on how to see life better. I will definitely give this book to my kids. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteVanessa, I found your review to be interesting and has a lot of valid points. Good work !
ReplyDeleteWell i think you have made a great summary of the book. You have clearly explains the moral story of the book. I hope that you can take some lessons after reading this book and you can apply it in your daily activities. Good job
ReplyDeleteHi cici, this is Alexander. Wow, you wrote a long book review. I like your writing. I can understand what you wrote. Pity the book is not interesting. Bye.
ReplyDeleteI love your writing. Right to the point clear and simple.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the excellent review Nessa.
Hi Vanessa, I really like your book review. You provide a clear and honest summary of the book and also you provide suggestions that the author can actually consider when he write his next book.
ReplyDeleteVery entertaining and incisive review. Your review told me everything I needed to know about the message of this book. Need to find and read this book.
ReplyDeleteInteresting review you have made there! Dont be put off by the uninteresting plot. Continue reading differemt types of books. It teaches you lessons that you can relate to your life. Thank you for sharing such a good review. I will read the book soon!
ReplyDeleteYour review is really simple and yet it have all the main points. It also shows that it teach you a lot of stuff. It makes me want to read the book too! Good job nessa. read more books and learn new stuff
ReplyDeleteGood job Vanessa. You managed to find the main points of the book and put it into nice review. Upss..i think i smell my old cheese, i have to move on and change :D
ReplyDeletewell done vanessa, quite interesting review that you have made.You get the messages that writer want to tell from the book.
ReplyDeleteWell done Vanessa, the certain thing in life is 'change' nothing is permanent. Got to have courage to exit the comfort zone, because you wouldn't know how the outside looks if you don't even try it. True....true... true.....
ReplyDeleteIt isn't about how you find the book interesting but it's about you getting moral values the author wants to deliver. Getting out from your comfort zones means making yourself more mature and wiser. You have done a good job Vanessa. Keep up your great work!
ReplyDeleteI believe you have mostly tackled every little thing about the book. It should provide a good synopsis which may draw the attention of those who haven't heard about the book and would like to find out more. Just a simple addition: you mention that you don't really like the story and it should be more interestingly written. Perhaps as a reader of this blog I would love to know what would you suggest to the writer what could these 'interesting' elements could be, so in a way you also state your expectation upon reading this book. Otherwise, everything else is comprehensively done.
ReplyDeleteThe book seems like an interesting one. It's metaphorical and it's also applicable to our daily lives. One of the things that I find interesting is that how you were able to learn lessons from the book, even though the book talks about a completely different thing, which in this case, a story about the mice and the cheese. Looking forward to reading this book, great choice. And thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteInteresting reviews of the book, nessa! From your review, I've gotten a clear summary of the key insights of what the book is all about. You have clearly understood the important message that they want to convey: How to cope positively with the inevitable change that will occur in all aspects of your life. I think this book is too "heavy" for someone your age, but you managed to intepret their message well which I think it's great. I sincerely hope that you will remember this important message and apply it in your everyday life. Good Luck Vanessa!
ReplyDeleteNice point of view Nessa. I like the way you review this book. For me the most interesting part of your review is when you wrote that the author could replace cheese with other thing as the metaphor. You stated clearly the main point of this book : Change and don't stay in your comfort zone. Nice Review, Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteWhat a really nice review, Nessa. You clearly describe the story. The great thing is you can get the lesson learn from that story. Keep up your good work, . Enjoy, God Bless you abudantly.
ReplyDeleteInteresting review. You clearly explain how the book goes, how it brings you on, its weakness and how it influences you so deep. You also put your recommendation after it, thats great. Careful with the grammar. Bunch of luck :)
ReplyDeleteGood job on your book review. You kept it raw and honest. Love how you captured meaningful lesson and reflect on your youthful life experience.
ReplyDeleteNice review. But there is something i wondering.
ReplyDeleteFirst,when im comfort in my comfort zone? Why should i face the change?
Second,
Im agree with you, Maybe theres a change in life, but you can through that change in your way "comfort".
I think dont stay in your comfort zone its sound lil bit naif ��
Its just my opinion , anw thank you for review
Nice review you have there. I like the way you explore this book. I think that u'll be a good reviewer. Keep up your good work . Don't stop reading because there are so many things you can learn from that.
ReplyDeleteReading is a very great activity that can explore our imagination and knowledge. Especially making a review on what we have read. The review that you have made is great. So keep on reading and reviewing. You've done a very good job.
ReplyDeleteGreat work VS! Love your review, I feel touched when I read the review. I really love "Our life has dead ends and we have to find our way through it" part, because it really inspired me a lot.The book has a really good moral that I can learn.But I hope I can read more about "Who moved my cheese"book.
ReplyDeleteGood . Wish U luck..........p
ReplyDeleteNice review! I agree with the necessity for preparing for changes. But I think it is also needed to make sure your family amd friends are also ready for them. Because they'll be the one who support you through changes and also become the ones that are affected.
ReplyDeleteI like how you review the book! You did a great job on describing the metaphors in the book. It makes the new reader of the book understand it better and clearer. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteIf you do not like the cheese as the metaphor for something people aspire, what should be the appropriate representation then?
ReplyDeleteThe moment I started reading the review, I knew right away that you were not impressed with the author's simplistic way of presenting the story. Sometimes, the simple ideas are the ones that tend to get overlooked and underestimated. Still, I would like to commend you for reading the book until the very end and attempting to understand the invaluable lessons in life imparted by the writer.
