Glad I purchased. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Best for those involved with strategy. *by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2013* A couple of things about this book:1. The title is misleading. It is, in-fact, not 'very short'. Though it may only be 170 pages (or thereabouts), it took me many, many hours of reading and rereading in order to absorb the many theories and studies that are presented in the text. Additionally, at $20 for the Kindle edition, it is not what I consider 'reasonably cheap.'2. If you're not involved with strategy in your organization, this will most likely bore you to tears. I read this for the capstone course in my MBA program. I was warned ahead of time that it was the most boring book some of my classmates have ever read. With that said, I did find it 'fairly interesting' based on the fact that I actually am a strategic planner. Much of the content was applicable to what I do, and for the most part I could appreciate the authors waxing lyrical about strategy. However, I am vastly in the minority among my classmates when it comes to enjoyment and knowledge extraction from this book.3. Though I did glean some pearls of wisdom, this text is a perfect example of academia being self-perpetuating. Although I admitted above to finding parts of it interesting from a strategist's perspective, the content is probably more appealing to business strategy professors rather than actual business strategy practitioners. (I should admit that I tend to be somewhat of a nerd when it comes to theory, so I enjoyed the academic-ness of it.) For the most part, the book is structured as so: a study by a professor is presented, another professor(s) studies that study, a different professor(s) finds faults in the study, still yet another professor(s) critiques and delves deeper into the study matter, and some other professor(s) decides to begin a completely new study based on the old study. And the authors of the book disagree with all of the studies (after they've presented an entire chapter going over every detail of said studies). Repeat.Overall, it was a tolerable read. It was like reading a very, very long lecture. You'll get some nuggets of knowledge out of it, but for the most part it's lots of droning on and on. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Not so interesting *by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2016* I wouldn't consider this book the most interesting by any means but it is nice that it is relatively short. It is a small book but very easy to hold. I wish it was a little cheaper for how small of a book it is. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4819127-a-very-short-fairly-interesting-and-reasonably-cheap-book-about](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4819127-a-very-short-fairly-interesting-and-reasonably-cheap-book-about) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
