Summary: Recycled Dilbert
Review: I'm a fan of Scott Adam's work. Dilbert is by far the funniest strip out there. The thing I don't like about this book is the strips are recycled from the other books instead of adding newer material. Other than that its a great book for the price.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: This recycling is getting tiresome
Review: Let's start this off by saying that I have always been a fan of Dilbert and it is one of the few comic strips I'll buy in collected form. That being said, the constant recycling of of material has hit a new low with this collection. Once again using previously collected material from 1989-2001, this collection does not even give the reader accompanying text from Adams, just a short intro that adds nothing to the reader's enjoyment. Are the "cubical sociopaths" separated from one another by anything other than chronological order? No! If you are a Dilbert fan and own the other collections, save your money. It's almost like this one was designed by the marketing department and put together at the last minute by Wally.

Summary: Collection of some of the previous strips from Dilbert books
Review: Marketing prank again by Scott Adams compiling some of the previous strips into another book. Do not buy the book and get fooled. Sounds to me like slapped together book that was released last year. Runs strips from 1992 to 2001.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dilbert deja vu encore again part III
Review: Scott Adams has been producing his hilarious Dilbert cartoons for 15 years now, long enough for many of us to go from cubicle dweller to VP. This is very funny stuff, centered around the themes of co-workers from hell, such as the Office Sociopath and Mr. Goodenrich, the company president, and dysfunctional departments such as Sales. Unfortunately, there is nothing new here, it is all recycled from previously books. For the most part it is also a random collection of strips, with story lines from the go-go days of the 90's now seeming hopelessly out of date.

Let me summarize here. Like all Dilbert cartoons, this is funny stuff. Adams was a phone company engineer and knows better than anyone the lunacy of the workplace and he very competently translates it onto the strips. If you have never read Dilbert, do not start here. Go for the earlier books like Willy the Mailboy or Clues for the Clueless.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Tired strips...
Review: Scott Adams is doing everything he can to alienate his fan base. At least some of the previous "treasuries" had a theme, Sunday strips, business topics, etc. This one has no reason at all except to trick people for paying a third time for the same old tired strips.

I've bought most of Dilbert's previous original books, but no more. Adams should be ashamed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A biting satire of all that is inept
Review: What Do You Call A Sociopath In A Cubicle? (answer: a co-worker) is the sixth, hilarious treasury of some of the best daily strips and full-color Sunday strips of the Dilbert cartoons -- which now appear in two thousand daily newspapers and sixty-five countries. A biting satire of all that is inept, soul-devouring, moronic, or just plain nuts in the corporate world, What Do You Call A Sociopath In A Cubicle? is side-splittingly funny in its merciless jibes against the foibles of idiot bosses and thoughtless employees: "If I use the speakerphone it will annoy my co-workers. Luckily for me, I'm a sociopath."
