The title isn't what the book is about, 2008-11-22
As a new project manager I bought this book for a couple of reasons. One the interesting title ("Finish What You Start" and the subtitle (10 Surefire ways...). However I was disappointed to find the book did not hammer away at either of these ideas in a systematic way that I was expecting.
There is some useful advice in the book. One that comes to mind is getting
tasks started simultaneously and the earlier the better whenever possible. I thought the book was padded a bit by the example projects that the author had worked on. I found them boring and a labor to get through. There is a nice summary of advice in the last chapter that is worth reading and re-reading. They might even be the "ten surefire ways" that the subtitle refers to.

Great Tool!, 2007-02-16
Michael Cunningham has done a terrific job breaking down project management into a simplified, usable manner--unlike many others who overcomplicate the process. I am a beginner project manager for a corporate executive, and he reccommended this book as a helpful tool. Finish What You Start will show you step by step how to turn a mess of deadlines, people running loose, and a draining budget into a perfectly controlled masterpiece--you can do it!

Extremely Helpful Book for all projects - Michele, 2006-07-21
This was an easy read. Helpful in the workplace, and for all projects and I think applicable to all ages. This book is full of solid advice and information that was easy to follow.

A Must Read!, 2006-07-19
As a 20-something trying to get my career on the right track and make sure that I acheive the goals I've always set for myself, I loved this book. It provided me with great tips that I have been able to apply to every goal that I've set for myself. It's easy to read, easy to understand, and completely applicable to every task, big or small. I think that this well written, easy to follow quick-read is totally worth the $14.95!
(I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pre-released copy, but if I were you I would order now for immediate delivery once it is out on Amazon.com!)
