Summary: Want Dilbert to Get Lucky?
Review: Here's why you should buy THIS Dilbert book above ALL OTHER Dilbert books:In his most recent newsletter, Scott Adams writes, "There's been a lot of clamoring lately for Dilbert to end his long unlucky streak with women and -- how should I say this? -- get his necktie straightened. I've decided to leave that decision to you. Here's the deal: If my new hardcover book, Dilbert and The Way of the Weasel, makes it to the top five of the New York Times best-seller list, then I'll arrange for Dilbert to reach the promised land. That's right: I'm willing to sacrifice my artistic integrity, and sell Dilbert's body, to get the job done. It's called 'marketing,' and no one said it would be pretty." - Scott Adams I bought copies for everyone I know. It's about time Dilbert had a good day!

Summary: Laughed So Hard I Cried: IT'S ALL TRUE!!!!
Review: I couldn't even get past the first 2 or 3 pages without sobbing in utter hilarity, not only because the writing and wit are exceptional, but the insight is DEAD ON. I've worked for a major financial services technologies division for 14+ years, and in data processing for nearly 30, and Mr. Adams' skewering of what goes on in any company is so on the mark it's uncanny - I SWEAR he has a webcam in my office building and is rehashing what goes on on a daily basis. The flip side of this is that he IS dead on, and it's a sad, sad commentary on the state of the business world as we know it in 2005. I began my career as an eager to learn & produce programmer, and progressed to frustration, disbelief, cynicism, apathy and, now, I guess in all honesty: weaselhood. Wish it weren't the case, but the odds are so stacked against being a responsible, committed, caring professional in this psychotically mismanaged world of ridiculous rules and obstacles - to say nothing of increased outsourcing (decisions made by executives who never have to worry about THEIR jobs being sent overseas...). It is to a point where you can't survive to retirement without weaseling. And what ==is== the point of holding on to shredded values of yesteryear that would result in a precarious suite of 'golden years' when nothing and no one around you cares or supports your sense of integrity and honor? Sad, but true.

Summary: A refinement of the "Dilbert Principle" series
Review: I don't quite know why, but humor a side, I found this book remarkable calming. Knowing that people are Weasels is one thing, knowing that *other people* know they're also Weasels is strangely uplifting. From Weasel Math to Weasel CEO's I see the influences in my life clearly mapped out by Scott. I recommend this book not merely as a light-hearted read, but also as a way of wising up to all the Weasels that are out to get you in every day life. This book is a useful and practical defense on all such manipulation and worth the money merely for learning the correct way to *sign* the presence of a Weasel act. --- phff-phff

Summary: Another Piece of waste from Scott Adams
Review: I got hold of the book today evening to check out anything new with the book. The book was a dull read not as interesting as "Dilbert Principle" or Dogbert's book of management. I am heavily disappointed with Mr. Scott Adams book for this year starting with the "Co-Worker" now to "Weasel". Better invest in getting Garfield's 25th Book (also released today)...Another pile of junk to the Dilbert collection.

Summary: Dilbert is getting kind of old
Review: I have bought quite a few Dilbert books and seems like Scott Adams is running out materials. It is quite similar to all the other books, with the same kind of sacarstic tones and stories.

Summary: I don't see why so many people thinks this is bad
Review: I just finished reading this book and must say i'm surprised over how many people who thinks this is bad. Right, it doesn't reach up to for example "The Dilbert Principle" (many consider "The Dilbert Future" as the best one, but for the record, i've haven't read it yet), but it's not so bad that it deserves a one, two, or three star review. I actually found the personality of a lot of people i've met again in the book - maybe myself, too.
But as so many other books it's not perfect. For example, when i started reading it, i sometimes fell off the whole thing - hard to explain. But i like it. Four stars.

Summary: hahahahahaha
Review: I laughed my ...off reading this book. If you have any appreciation for humor, you need to get this book. Ignore the idiot reviewer from Menlo Park. Scott Adams is funny, has the right amount of cynicism, and really knows his stuff when it comes to weaseldom. This book is one of his funniest (and I have all of them)!

Summary: Recycled, Cynical, Obvious--A New Low
Review: I'm no Scott Adams hater. In fact, I once waited in a line just to have him autograph a Dilbert shirt I bought at his Fry's appearance in Ca. years back. The problem with this book is its packed full of Adams' classic page fillers (emails from drooling fans;...), petty rants about being famous (reporters bother me a lot--ooo it's so hard being famous!), and braggadoccio (I work at home in my PJs--ooo I'm so cool...) You get the idea. It's not just satire, it's demeaning to read. If you're a fan of the strip, you know that it's run its course. Laughed at it lately? Like most people, probably not--'cause it's all been said. I've read at least two of Adams' other books and they were both more enjoyable than this...

Summary: Weak start, takes off
Review: I've always been a fan of Adams, but he's very frank about his own laziness. He can give people more of the same, and they'll lap it up. Still, while Dilbert stopped being funny some time ago, I thought that his prose work would remained fresh. After reading the first fifth of this book, I was getting concerned, but it gathers energy for a strong finish. The beginning deals with the usual Dilbert fare - being a weasel, i.e. financially, emotionally and chronologically shortchanging your boss, co-workers and family members. Far too much space seems to be devoted to this material. A lot of his points are obvious, rehashes of things he's said too many times before, and it's not that funny. Near the end, though, Adams is like a drunk losing his inhibitions; his stories become more personal and his humor more robust, and some of the passages near the end still have the power to make you keel over with laughter. The story of the beginning of his career is particularly hilarious. The price is a bit high for a book which is only half-good, it still seems to me; read this one in the bookstore, on one or the comfy chairs they provide for you.
