Rating:  Summary: Another Dilbert Bible Review: A perfect laugh-along for all managers such as myself. If you got the dough, buy the book!I just hope that they won't be re-used in future books...
Rating:  Summary: A Good Laugh, Though Limited! Review: As always this collection of dilbert strips is funny. This appeals particulary to those in the engineering field who work in large companies. I alway can relate to these strips and that is what makes them particularly intresting.

Rating:  Summary: The office underdog is back! Review: Finally! A new collection of the continued misadventures of Dilbert and his coworkers, as they are continually thwarted by their pointy-haired boss, and the evil HR director, Catbert. You'll think your office was the model for this humorous slice of life in the cube! And of course, you'll want to post some on your cube wall...like I did!
Rating:  Summary: What is everyone's problme?? This is fantastic stuff! Review: I don't see what everyone hates about this book, I loved it! I've enjoyed Dilbert for years and this book is just as hilarious as the others! Yes, pretty much every strip that turns a business cliche into something literal (i.e. scapegoat, meeting moth) falls completely flat but all the other characters from the boss to Wally to even young Asok are in fine form. Scott Adams has certainly not lost his edge yet, Random Acts of Management continues the Dilbery legacy in style and proves once again that Dilbert is one of the best strips out there.

Rating:  Summary: Dilbert May Be Running Out of Gas Review: I think this compilation of Dilbert strips from 1998 and 1999 show that Scott Adams is running out of funny ideas. I haven't laughed much at Dilbert the last couple of years and this collection confirms that. I have been a big fan of Dilbert since the early 90's, but I think Scott Adams' dependence on reader input for ideas instead of those generated from his own corporate experiences (he quit his job several years ago) is starting to drag the strip down. I also think Mr. Adams' is spending too much time on the business side of Dilbert (TV shows, product marketing) to give the strip the attention it needs. I hope that he'll remember what got him where he is today and focus his energy on his comic strip in the future. If you've got all the books, get it, but if you want some laughs, try some of the earlier Dilbert compilation books instead.
Rating:  Summary: The Way Dilbert Should Be Review: I've grown up with Dilbert and belive me when I say this stuff is great. My favorite character is definetly Wally because he's so lazy. The Dlibert books are great and they always make me laugh. I have 11 Dilbert books and I really can't say I dislike any of them. A great deal for you money and one of the best Dilbert books.
Rating:  Summary: A Disappointment Review: It seems that the flashier the cover,the shallower the content,and this is certainly true of this last Dilbert collection.Poor jokes,implausible situations,recycling of old topics (in a case,a blatant strip rerun).I hope old Scott is not at his wit's end.
Rating:  Summary: A Good Laugh, Though Limited! Review: Like all the Dilbert cartoons this book gives many chuckles at office humor with Dilbert, the HR boss and the usual gang. But, as a reader, who has also experienced such workplace environments, I have one critical point to make: there is far more to company work-life than bickering between an HR boss and cubicle employees...though that too happens! But, if you'd like to read a hilarious take on management at ALL levels from sly CEOs to dimwitted technical managers and see their bungling, obstructive and selfish interactions with R&D technical staff, then I recommend the true-to-real-life stories in the satirical book, "MANAGEMENT BY VICE". With sharp wit, short fun verses and humorous illustrations, Management by Vice describes situations that are fast-paced with characters, who stand up for themselves and speak out. Company politics, ignorance, incompetence, idea-pilfering etc., described in Management by Vice, cover a far broader company work-spectrum. It is also much more candid and true-to-life than anything in the entire limited office-setting Dilbert series. Believe me, I've seen it and apparently so has the author, C.B. Don! So, for a truly good laugh and a complete picture of company life, do try both books and you'll be reading the very best in business humor!
