Rating: Summary: Top Banana Review: Defiantly the best of the Dilbert books. I keep a copy in the bathroom, and after a hard day, I like nothing more than a hot bath and a laugh. I love the final chapter, it's nice to look into somebody's psyche.
Rating: Summary: Amazing last chapter Review: True, this book is funny and makes an entertaining read. But the last chapter is a rare surprise and probably the highlight of the book. Adam's talks about his beleifs ranging from theories on quantum physics, mind over matter, goal setting and ESP. Extremely well written..
Rating: Summary: Scott Adams is simply fabulous. Great Stuff !! Review: This is the first Dilbert book i read and it was way beyond my expectations. Almost every chapter made me say to myself "Hey! This happens at my office too!". Its worth every cent I paid for it. I am now planning to buy all other Dilbert books.
Rating: Summary: Something seriously missing in the humour Review: I enjoy Dilbert cartoons very much, but was quite disappointed with The Dilbert Future. Disagree with the other reviewers that this book is "laugh out loud" material. At times, I couldn't even bring myself to chuckle. I think the missing element here is the reader's empathy for the topic. Unlike other books such as The Dilbert Principle which deplicts familiar real life situations in an irreverent and hilarious manner that gets the reader nodding in agreement as he laughs, The Dilbert Future is basically a wild conjecture of the future. Without some degree of familiarity, readers won't be able relate to the gags. If you think sex with aliens, microchips embedded in your body, gadgets that enable you not to hear other people speak, is funny, then I suppose this book is for you.
Rating: Summary: Yogurt in print! Review: You have never seen a humor book like this one and you may not see one again. It starts off as a collection of old strips, then moves into straight social satire and finally into Adams' very unconventional views on reality and the meaning of life. If you know what you like and just want more and more of the same, this book may not be for you; but if you have an inquisitive mind, you must read it. You won't agree with, or like, all of it but you will have broadened your horizons. I would compare this book to yogurt. It's good for you, you may like it or hate it, but you owe it to yourself to at least try it.
Rating: Summary: Scott Adams does it again.... Review: If you enjoy Scott Adams (unlike that reviewer who only gave one star and posted that run-on paragraph tirade), then this book is definetly for you. Obviously, if you're an Induhvidual, don't bother buying this book, because you simply won't understand it, and you'll no doubt go out to a website and post another run-on paragraph tirade. Hilarious to the very end. I can forsee reading this book again.
Rating: Summary: As funny a book as I've read in years! Review: I'm not the kind of guy who likes to draw attention to himself. My friends may contradict that, but it's true. So reading The Dilbert Future in public, after the first time I tried, was a real exercise in compromise, because I could not read as much as a page without laughing out loud. Loudly out loud. Loudly enough to attract attention. Adams' prose words are as biting/cynical/sarcastic/funny/accurate as are his cartoons. I'm buying a copy for my-son-the- engineer. So should you.
Rating: Summary: Interesting Review: Good, politically incorrect humor. Right to the point. Read it
Rating: Summary: great Review: this is the only dilbert book I have read and I was enthralled when I read it. The whole thing makes perfect sense.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful book. Light humor, then good stuff Review: THE DILBERT FUTURE is a good book of light humor (essentially the strip in novel form) for the majority of the book. Though not as good as THE DILBERT PRINCIPLE, it is still enjoyable. Then the book becomes great. After 200 some pages of stuff like "Prediction Number Whatever: In the future, we'll have whales" the second-to-last chapter starts out "The Theory of Evolution will be Scientifically Disproven in your lifetime." After that the book becomes wonderful (and makes up for the 3 star quality of the rest of it). Very, very interesting.
