Almost useless. I am stunned by the incredible lack of clarity for a book whose sole purpose is to prepare you to lay out your thinking in the most clear way during a case interview.
The Ivy Case System is pointless. There is no learning involved, it is only memorization of 12 case types and the follow up questions for each.

A must read for anyone who wants to broaden their business sense or prepare for a product type interview. Might even be quite helpful in some technical interviews at larger companies.

Good introduction and beginning guide for aspiring consultants. Provides a good baseline and proper advice for developing true case study skills.

Excellent book on the how to get a job in consulting, how consultants solve problems, and how to replace them!!!
