I have only read the Jeremiah Fleenor book. It was a quick read. Some interesting stuff - but not sure I learned anything from it. Its cheap and short - so could be worth picking up and going through it.

 

The book I recommend is "Doing Right" by Hebert. Its a book on ethics, however it has case studies throughout the book. You can process the dilemma and then he discusses the "answer". Both the answers and the discussion help me a fair bit, not just understanding the dilemma and coming up with an answer - but provided me with information to break down the interview ethics questions and provide 8 mins of discussion

I didn't find this book very helpful, as it is oriented towards a traditional, non-MMI style interview (and I was headed off to a MMI). You could find similar information in any interview skills book (just worded differently lol).

 

Good luck!
