Rating: Summary: Excellent - all the more so because it is so darn right! Review: Very, very good, especially descriptions of your bosses (I love the grid describing what your boss falls into). I'm very tempted to try out the numerous office pranks, but I'm just not sure I'd have the guts! Very worthwhile and highly recommended by me (and no, I'm not Scott Adams).
Rating: Summary: The therapeutic value of satire Review: While some cartoonists are simply entertaining, others are a combination of social satirist and philosopher. The really good ones seem to be able to capture a page of meaning in a few captioned drawings. Scott Adams is one of the best at this and his area of proficiency is the modern corporate world where managers and their sniveling minions are the particular target of his wrathful humor. His observations are so treasured by those who toil mightily to traipse through the drivel that the Dilbert web site is one of those most commonly blocked by the managers of corporate web access. This is sad but understandable. Like all good cartoonists, Adams makes us laugh at our problems, and some of them are caused by those who order the blocking. While this book is not as good as the original, even the weakest parts will make you smile as you recognize some aspects of the problems that you face in your job. It is amazing how Adams can sketch three captions and use thirty words or less to write pages of commentary on how things are going wrong at work. The content in the book is a mixture of messages from readers, previous Dilbert cartoons and satiric commentary by Adams. While some of the get-even gags in the messages are great, there are some that cross the line, which make you wonder if they were really submitted in good faith. I enjoyed the book, finding it illuminating, and one more affirmation of the role of satire in our world. Without it, our world would be much less interesting and much more difficult. Of course, that would not be a problem if there were not so many situations that generate it.
