Summary: As always, pure Dilbert gold!
Review: If you are like me, you will buy this book just because it is the next Dilbert treasury.

If you aren't like me, you should still buy this if you would like a laugh.

After almost 15 years, Dilbert has evolved, but is still going strong. Although characters like Ratbert and Bob don't make as many appearances anymore, Scott Adams has brought us many new specific characters, like the above mentioned ConsulTick. There are many of these characters in this treasury.

This book will bring a few smiles to your face. Enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: STILL THE MOST CONSISTENTLT FUNNY STRIP
Review: It's been 15 years and Scott Adams shows now signs of slowing down or the ckind of burnout that caused Bill Watterson to retire from Calvin and Hobbes. Thank God! Because Dilbert remains the most consistently funny comic strip in the papers. A daily dose of wry, sarcastic wit that is daily bread to those of us toiling away in an office environment.

The title of this book says it all...who hasn't wanted to smack the person reviewing us upside the head and ask them what the hell were they thinking when they wrote it. Reviews, marketing, computers, stupid bosses...it's all to be read and mocked in Scott's latest collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All quiet in Wallyville...
Review: It's more Dilbertine for the addicted like myself and allthough there are a couple of minuses to mention the level of hilarity stays high as always. And how could it not? The inspiration from the corporate world keeps coming through in tsunami waves.

While one of the most cult characters in the Dilbert series (Wally) gains even more of the spotlight other equally legendary characters like Ratbert but above all Dogbert himself keep getting lesser and lesser appearances. That's a pity actually as especially these two have offered unforgettable moments in the past. Another thing connected with these two fading somewhat is that we get fewer moments of Dilbert at home and more in the office. Tha creates somewhat of an imbalance which was not present in the initial installments of the series.

All in all though, this gets adequately compensated by Adam's invincible humor and the introduction of new characters who might have less of a lifespan in comparison to Ratbert and Dogbert but who provide for some freshness nevertheless.

Other than that it's Wally galore to the max. Wally has been the secret ace of this comic all along. This is cynicism at its very best and its most hardcore. The lines coming out of Wally's mouth are surreal.
The Dilbert series continues to be a classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the funniest Dilbert books
Review: One of the reasons I like this one so much is because it contains the comic strips that I always read in the paper last year. These are a few of the reasons why you should buy this book.

Toxic Tom
Dilbert as a sheep
Wally being lasy a usual
Dogbert's Tech Support
The Consultick
Dilbert's mood altering drugs
The furniture psychic
The new dress code which is barrels
My favorite comic which is the one where Wally researches Greek names for a new product

This are a bunch of really great comics and they are a must buy for all Dilbert fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another funny Dilbert book
Review: This is another very funny and spot-on book from Adams. Some of the characters like Ratbert and Dogbert don't appear as much, but Wally comes on strong and new characters are introduced like ConsulTick.

What's funny is the resonant note that Dilbert has struck with so much of corporate America. Having been an employee at a major Fortune 500 company for many years myself, I was convinced that Adams was talking about my company, and so did everyone else, although the resemblances at times could be almost eerie.

Adams's cartoons of the more absurd and ridiculous aspects of corporate culture (which at times seems to be about 99% of it) continue to provide much needed comic relief for hapless cubicle dwellers everywhere, and this is another funny book from Adams that shouldn't disappoint his fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More Dilbert Hilarity
Review: This is the latest collection of Dilbert strips (not one of the larger treasuries with color). Once again we enter the crazy business world of Dilbert and shudder to realize both how accurate it is and that Dilbert is the most normal person in the strip.

In this collection we get such story arcs as:
The return of Bob the Dinosaur
Dilbert turns into a sheep
The annoying consultick
Dilbert grows an exoskeleton
The new dress-code: Barrels

Another fine collection for just about anyone.
