Cantor brings humorous light to real world issues without making a mockery of them. Each page provoked thought and laughs. Don't read it too fast or you'll be sorry its over. Great takes, funny phrasing, suprisingly deep, you'll like it!
Rating:  Summary: Gutsy Review: Gutsy bookCantor took a risk in telling the truth - this book uncovers much about corporate America that needs to be said. Many of his quotes are just plain funny but many are also designed to make you react. And just when you are getting irritated he has you just where he wants you. Buy the book. Jim

Rating:  Summary: Very highly recommended Review: Judging by the cover, LIGHTS, CUBICLE, ACTION! appears to be yet another Dilbertesque comic book making light of the corporate world. Appearances in this case would be very deceiving. A quick perusal of its pages reveals the truth behind corporate rhetoric, unvarnished by any gloss or glamour. Instead, the wisdom offered is hard hitting, intensely critical and remarkable insightful. Indeed, its rather scathing evaluation of the cubeville reveals the harsh truths of cube dwelling that your boss would like you to forget. A.A. Cantor captures the brutal heart of corporate America in every page. Occasionally amusing, always astute, each page deftly reveals the ruthlessness of business and the keys to survival. Moreover, LIGHTS, CUBICLE, ACTION! offers far more than the cheesy optimism of teamwork and chasing the cheese characteristic of most books within this genre. A must read for all cube dwellers, LIGHTS, CUBICLE, ACTION! comes very highly recommended.
Rating:  Summary: Kudos to Cantor Review: Lights, Cubicle, Action! is a winning combination of wisdom, philosophy and humor. As a career/life coach, I love the way the book presents powerful messages that are valuable for all of us as we negotiate the sometimes choppy waters of our professional and personal lives. I tried to flag my favorite "anti-quotes," but found it an impossible task since so many jumped out at me. This book is must reading for everyone, regardless of where they are in their lives.
