The BEST Dilbert book yet! Oct 31, 2007 Scott Adams has outdone himself AGAIN. He has truly captured 'life in a cubicle'. It seems like he has hidden cameras in our cubicles and is spying on us...getting new insight into cubicle living for his next book. Thanks, Scott, for another great book to bring sunshine to my dreary days here in cubicleville. :-)

Very underwhelming... May 12, 2007 I like Scott Adams a lot. His Dilbert strip is one of the funniest currently in circulation. His blog is a likewise interesting read. I particularly enjoyed two of his prior "non-comic" books - "The Dilbert Principle" and "The Joy of Work". So I had high expectations when I purchased this book. I'm sad to say that this particular piece is a major disappointment.
If you are expecting another treatise like the two I mentioned above, or any of his other non-comic books, you will be disappointed. For one, it's a mixture of his cartoons and some witty missives about corporate America. The problem is that the reader doesn't get the best of either. His cartoons are simply enlarged to cover two pages (each), with only a sentence or two to accompany them. The book is short, and I was finished in about 15 minutes even being distracted a couple times along the way. Entertainment value is modest at best.
I'm one of those Dilbert-loving fools who will purchase pretty much anything Scott Adams publishes, even though I've been burned a couple times before. This is, sadly, another one of those times where my wallet feels a bit scorched. Happily, Scott Adams produces enough quality product that the occasional clunker can be forgiven. And I forgive you, Scott. Just don't make a habit of it, 'k? :-)

Cute and Mildly Entertaining May 12, 2007 As with most of the Dilbert books, this is a collection of cartoons which can be finished in a very short period of time.
