Book Reviews of This Is the Part Where You Pretend to Add Value: A Dilbert Book (Dilbert Books (Paperback Andrews McMeel))
Book Review: The latest in a string of hits
Summary: 4 Stars
I confess that I am a fan of Scott Adams' "Dilbert" strips, (particularly his current strips, which I find more amusing than his earlier strips, although there was some good work there.) I like the addition of color to all the strips because this makes them for some reason very pleasant to look at, and "Catbert, Evil director of human resources " is always the proper devilish red. I'm not much into making comparisons between one collection and another, but for me Mr. Adams work is only getting more to my liking, more absurd, playful, even "Monty Python-ish" lately. I've really enjoyed his latest collection, and I look forward to the next.
Summary of This Is the Part Where You Pretend to Add Value: A Dilbert Book (Dilbert Books (Paperback Andrews McMeel))
"Ninety percent of ethics is picking the right ethicist." --DilbertScott Adams offers up his this Dilbert collection exploring themes of sloth and corporate indifference. The arbitrary, unspoken rules of interoffice emailing, the random policy generator, and the knowledge that management has indeed given up ever trying to win an award for best place to work all combine to make life in the Dilbert workplace as demoralizing as real life.
Dilbert navigates through the same corporate 9 to 5 existence in which his readers physically dwell. Dilbert, Dogbert, the boss, Wally, Alice, and Catbert tackle corporate indolence, avarice, and pretense one strip at a time, from the neighboring cubicle whistler to the project naysayer to the guy who's always just too busy to lend a hand.
