From the reviews:
"The book deals with the difficulties of making a number of independently minded programmers work together as a team - a task that has been likened to herding cats. … This is a very readable textbook and touches on many aspects of management. Once you’ve read it you should feel better equipped to cope with all those cats … . If you happen to hate cats, keep an open mind and just accept the phrase as the amusing analogy it is intended to be." (LINUX Magazine, Issue 21, 2002)
