Summary: Refined my inherent weasel-like behavior!
Review: Scott Adams is the best living American philosopher."Philosopher!" you cry? Yes, he's a cartoonist and humorist, but his insight is so deep and biting that the word "satire" doesn't do him justice. He distills the behavior of people -- both in and out of the office -- into its true form: weaseldom. He's right; everybody weasels to get out of work, get more pay, or avoid responsibility. And only Scott Adams can make this revalation hilarious. This book will teach you how to use your own weasel skills to their utmost to avoid work and co-workers, and will teach you to deflect you co-workers (as Dilbert readers know, they're really cow-orkers) attempts at the same. Buy it, laugh, and get back to avoiding work like you never have before!

Summary: Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel
Review: SCOTT ADAMS ROCKS!! Once more Mr. Adams has captured the modern workplace in his newest book. Plenty of themed cartoons highlight each point. Anyone who has ever held a job will recognize the weasel in their employers, managers, co-workers and - dare I say it - themselves. A favorite spot for me was when compensation (i.e. raises) was discussed - how your employer will show you how lucky you are to get what you are, will be or could be. This was made much funnier because my workplace had just done annual salary reviews and it felt as if Scott Adams had been in the office with me when I was reminded of the economy, assured that I was being paid equitably and even offered a clipping to prove it. I have not shown my employer the book as I like my job. And I loved this book!

Summary: Scathing. Scott is out for blood
Review: The best book since, well, The Dilbert Principle. Scott voices what a lot of people would, if they weren't afraid of getting fired. Most of the things in here make one laugh only because they are so close to the truth. At times cynical and bitter, and times whimsical, always with an axe to grind.
Biased? Hell yes I am; I like everything Dilbert. Still, I have not laughed so hard since the first time I read 'The Dilbert Principle'. IMHO Scott Adams ranks with Twain, Mencken and Shaw.

Summary: Stone of Excellence with Oak Leaf Cluster
Review: The Way of the Weasel is written in a way that brings back for me many wonderful memories of comedian Jonathan Winters's work. I guarantee that once you pick up this book, you are in for some great entertainment. As you race through it, the only downside is the shrinking number of pages remaining to be read. Viewed through the delightfully warped lens of Scott Adams' Wieselweg philosophy, many previously puzzling aspects of life at work are shown to be the result of the tireless efforts of Weasels (or Weaselage as it is more commonly known), thus enabling you to develop countermeasures to thwart, or at least blunt, their efforts to do you in. For writing such a hilarious nonfiction book, I nominate Scott Adams as the 2002 recipient of the coveted Stone of Excellence with Oak Leaf Cluster (made out of the world's finest recycled plastic)!

Summary: Hilarious (but a bit scary)
Review: This is a typical Scott Adams Dilbert "management" book. If you don't take it too seriously, it's quite hilarious. However, the more I read the more I recognized the weasely behavior of some of my colleagues (seeing the weasel behavior rewarded in quite depressing, actually). Sometimes, in the middle of laughing out loud, you may even recognize some of your own behavior. Here you have to make a choice - go sit in the corner out of shame or just laugh louder.

Summary: You Should DEFINITELY Buy This Book Unless...
Review: This is the best book I've read in a long while. I laughed out loud enough times to scare my fellow transit riders. I'd say if you're sprouting a few weasel whiskers of your own you will find this to be an uncomfortable read. Otherwise, you will thoroughly enjoy IDing people you know and feeling smug about it. The book itself is well-written and hard to put down once you get started. Mr. Adams has written another best-seller. I'd recommend buying this book for your family, friends and co-workers just to see how they liked it. Then you'll know who to trust in the future. In my opinion, this is a MUST READ and a great gift for the holidays. No one needs to know you'll have an ulterior motive in giving it to them, and who knows, you might find out a few surprising things about yourself in the process.

Summary: Good in spots
Review: This is the first Dilbert book I have actually read and I am a great fan, but... Half the book is okay.
Fourth of the the book is so funny it made me cry
Fourth of the book is predictable chatter to make the book sell
Tenth of the book is offensive (can't add huh?) What I learned from this book was that it must be cool to get to have people send you ideas (write your stories for you) and then draw a comic strip and get paid big buckos! I still am glad I read it!

Summary: Descent into Negative Self-indulgence
Review: What is humor? Hard to say, the Dilbert Future had it, this does not. What is funny to me about Dilbert is how he preceives and reacts to the disturbing intrusions of insanity into the workplace. Now there is no sanity left anywhere. Scott Adams appears to think that every person on the planet is too dumb to remember to breathe. . . .and that it is sooo funny to just now discover it. If you think that imagining that every single person who has a job is one of the leads in "Dumb and Dumber," then you might like this, then again, maybe not. He seems to be quite taken with his own brilliance in seeing just how far beneath him all humanity is.
This book is like a conversation with the most caustic egotist you've ever met. You know the one, every human is a banal fool--execpt himself. It isn't humor, its self-indulgence.
I love books, but I threw this one in the trash.
