Eh. It was all right, but I didn't learn much. It confirmed I was on the right track, there were a few ideas I will probably use. I didn't, however, like some of the author's attitude--getting rid of stuff is good, throwing it all in the trash is not. Giving to charity is not just if you can't stand throwing it out--it's a good idea for stuff still in good shape--much better than throwing it out!

The humor is generally good and his opinion that some clutter is all right is a nice change. It wasn't great as an organizing book for me. Might help someone else, but I didn't learn a whole lot from it, and while I did like the humor he put in (usually), I didn't like some of his attitudes towards stuff.
