A Man of Principle Review ofThe Dilbert Principle - Scott Adamsby
a-true-ben
Advantages: Very funny office-related humour Disadvantages: Some repetition
...sums it up really. It’s the funniest management book you’ll ever read!
The introduction begins with an acknowledgement from Scott Adams that no matter how absurd he makes scenarios, he always hears disgruntled office workers tell him it’s so true! Being a student myself, I only have very limited office experience (from the last two summers) but even I recognise some of it. I’d say you may appreciate the books more if you do work in an office, but ...

Advantages: very funny Disadvantages: some American jargon
...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?

Hilarious to read Review ofThe Dilbert Principle - Scott Adamsby
Superfly25
Advantages: Great Book,gives you various insights about company cultures,etc. Disadvantages: none
...my english and seeing what the author really meant. Most of the time the translation loses a thing or two, especially when it comes to humor.
While working in South Carolina in 1995 and 1996 I got to know Scott Adams and his Dilbert comics in the newspapers. In 1999 I discovered that Dilbert had finally reached Germany and so I went to my internet bookstore to get the original version of THE DILBERT PRINCIPLE. And how I enjoyed that. I read all ...

...was a little bit on the long side, and even Adams's brand of humour wears thin by page 300!
This is the sort of book that you can pass on to family and friends, and would make a great present. The first part of the book is highly entertaining, and hugely funny, but by the time you are reaching the end of the book, it is getting a little on the boring side.
Now that it has been re-released for just £3.99, I would almost certainly buy it. ...

Scott does it again Review ofThe Dilbert Principle - Scott Adamsby
Paul_Raven
Advantages: 'Some' new stuff and its as funny as usual Disadvantages: Not all if it is new material
...Adam's insight and anicdotes from the world of corporate stupidity never fails to raise a smile... then a chuckle ... A laugh ... and on till your gut aches. Mainly because we ALL know someone, some petty minded, jobsworth little manager (with or without pointy hair) or some short balding workshy individual who would actually be good at his job if only he'd use half the effort that he puts into making up excusses to skive.
If this is the only Scott ...

Advantages: Witty and sarcastic Disadvantages: Not easy to read straight through
...are being promoted to reduce the potential damage they can do. His insights into office life are witty and interesting, expecially his take on meetings, which is eerily familiar. The cartoons he uses are always relevant and there are never too many to stifle the text. This is a cynical and sarcastic book, which means it will appeal to most! I have read it several times, although never straight through - I found it more fun to pick a chapter at a time. ...

Advantages: Funny, true, down-to-earth Disadvantages: Can be a tad expensive
...a brilliant book that captures the reality of office life exactly. No office worker should be without a Dilbert book and this one is a perfect example. Very mild exaggeration and down to earth comments alongside careful observations all combine to make another brilliant Dilbert book. I always used to wander why Dilbert comic strips were so popular in Sunday papers and now I know. The comic strips are pure genius with amazing wit and sarcasm.
One ...
