Crowned Review The Dilbert Principle - Scott Adams: A Man of Principle (849 words)
by - written on 30/11/03 (Very useful, 925 readings)
Rating:

Scott Adams used to work for Pac Bell before decided that rather than sit in an office cubicle, it?d be far better to quit that job and make a living writing cartoons about office life. His Dilbert cartoons are popular in newspapers - featuring a poor geek-y engineer (Dilbert), his (generally incompetent) co-workers, his (even more moronic) boss and a variety of animals (Dogbert, Ratbert, etc). Perhaps it says something of their popularity that my spellchecker recognises ?Dogbert?! The Dilbert Principle (first published in 1996, and Sunday Times no. 1 best seller) declares itself to be ?A cubicle?s-eye view of bosses, meetings, management fads and other ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review The secret of office survival (642 words)
by - written on 03/04/05 (Very useful, 138 readings)
Rating:

This is a very scary book for anyone who has worked for a big company or in an office. If David Brent managed to show the cringe worthiness of office life Scott Adams through his cartoon character Dilbert manages to show the absurd and ridiculous action of companies, managers and employees. Who is Dilbert? Dilbert is the comic strip creation of Scott Adams. Dilbert is an engineer and spends his days working in his cubicle. Hardly a role model employee Dilbert is always drawn wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a tie that turns up at the ends. Adams draws the inspiration for his cartoons from the nine years that he worked for Pacific Bell ...  Read the complete review

I borrowed this book off a friend and it was absolutely hilarious. It features the cartoon character Dilbert and is written by Scott Adams. It is an American acrtoon strip however the humour translates well to this country, Dilbert is an engineer by profession who works in a cubicle and is not at all motivated. He has a cynics outlook on life and highlights the absurd business speak and practices of those around him. The book is a mixture of cartoons and items sent to Adams over the years by employees highlighting some of the absurd goings on in their places of work. Each chapter takes a business topic and examines it thoroughly. For anyone who has ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Funniest book I've read (251 words)
by - written on 24/10/00 (Very useful, 67 readings)
Rating:

The Dilbert Principle, in case you don't know, is that "the most ineffective workers are systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage - management". Yes, Scott Adams is not overly keen on management and bureaucracy. Anyone who has read any Dilbert cartoons in the past will know what to expect from this book. What I hadn't expected was that the accompanying text would be so funny. Included in the book are a number of emails from people highlighting the most ludicrous suggestions from management, and tales of generally clueless managers. While on the face of it this may not seem the best topic for a humourous book, ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review The Dilbert Principle - Scott Adams: Dilbert rocks (120 words)
by - written on 13/08/00 (Useful, 28 readings)
Rating:

Dilbert is that cartoon bloke in the office whose workmates include: *pointy haired boss *asok the intern *wally and many more... If you've never seen it, here's what it's about. Funny office stories that have been adapted to sound like something less idiotic then they really are... Actually the best way to describe it would be to put one of the cartoons here, but i can't. So go to www.dilbert.com to have a look!(or keyword DILBERT on AOL). Its humourous, and like other popular cartoons, works on two levels, so it's great for us relativley mature people, but also for kids. ...  Read the complete review
