Advantages: Hilarious

Disadvantages: None

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 ever worked for a big company you will be able to spot some of the truths shown in this hilarious book which is perfect for dipping in and out of every so often. The humour is very accesible and really hits the spot.

I loved the example he gives which talks about a camera company bringing out a new model called the Weekender, people actually phoned them to check it was ok to use the camera during the week.

Th cartoons are hilarious and all the characters such as Dogbert are present. This is a great coffee table book and one that I laughed throughoutat, from cover to cover.

It is available for £1.49 from mazon.

Summary: Very funny
