One of the most rewarding moments for an author is hearing that their book not only informed but also entertained. That is why I was delighted to read this thoughtful review from D and S, who shared their experience with A Career Carol:
"While it’s a career advice book, it really is a joy to read. The first half is a very funny fable about Shey Sinope, a college student about to graduate. They use a Christmas Carol construct to show the big career pitfalls that will be ahead. But there is a lot of wit and fun in the telling of the tale. Sort of Douglas Adams meets Who Moved My Cheese?
The second half is a deconstruction of the story and some practical tips on how to better navigate the big career challenges.
Excellent book for anyone thinking about their careers."
This is exactly the balance I aimed for when writing A Career Carol — blending humour and storytelling with clear, practical career guidance. Shey Sinope’s journey is not just a playful nod to a classic tale, but a reflection of the challenges and decisions so many people face when stepping into the world of work.
The comparison to Douglas Adams and Who Moved My Cheese? is both generous and encouraging. If the book made you laugh, think and come away with something useful, then I consider that a real success.
Thank you, D and S, for your kind and insightful review. I hope A Career Carol continues to guide and uplift readers as they navigate their own career stories.
