Abridged Audiobook
The book is just what you should expect. The reading again exactly what you should expect.
What a waste of time. The book is very poorly read. Why do they insist on having the author read it no matter how poorly? The book meanders about with no real direction. There are some funny tidbits here and there, but it's not worth wadding through the thing to get to them. I'm a huge Dilbert fan, have been for years. Even I'm not fanatic enough to recommend this thing!
Not as good as some of his other stuff, but still plenty entertaining. After finishing the set, I went straight to the book store to buy some more of his tapes, only to find they were out. You really cannot go wrong with Dilbert.
Very good and typical Scott Adams and Dilbert view of the world. I enjoyed the dilbert principle and found this in the same light. Abridged version seemed seamless and made sense.
The book was better than expected. I was impressed with Scott Admas insight into the business world.
Mr. Adams might think about hiring a narrator next time...
Even as an engineer who loves the strip, I could not get through this book.
What more can I say, it's classic Scott Adams and Dilbert.
This was a fun, light listen. It made me laugh. :-)
I have been a fan of Scott Adams' Dilbert for years, and even own the DVD collection of the short-lived Dilbert cartoon show. Much as I enjoy Dilbert, Scott Adams' narration is a bit monotone (unlike the great character voices on the Dilbert cartoon show). Sorry Scott - don't quit your day job to become a professional narrator, and keep the brilliant Dilbert comic strip coming!
I love the Dilbert characters, but this book was dissappointing. Mildly funny and poorly read.
If you are familiar with the cartoon, and like it, then you will like this book. It is like reading Dilberts view of the office workers- more specifically the weasels, but more than that. Scott Adams brings out so many things that people that work in a cubical farm should recognize. Not only how to recognize the weasels, but how to go about it. All in a humor that is expected and well delivered.
I like Dilbert, and there were quite a few mild chuckles in this work, but I don't recall any side-splitting humor. Pleasant diversion for your commute.
Unlike the previous Dilbert books, this one is not that funny and hilarious. Some of the concepts/ideas keep repeating and elaborating on mundane facts seems quite uninteresting. Overall, this book can be read once if you have absolutely nothing to do or nothing else to read.
I really enjoyed this - did not think that I would. Found myself laughing out loud as I listened to it on my way to work. I think it helped me to ease into my job for several mornings.
Not as good as other Scott Adams books, but contains some excellent advice for those of us caught in corporate bureaucracy. I always learn how to cope better, after hearing these tales.
I guess I just don't understand why this book was ever published. It was terrible. Didn't make through the first CD before returning.
I really enjoyed this audio book. Scott Adams discusses his philosophy on how people are weasels and shares humorous analysis on subjects such as moving up the corporate ladder, avoiding work, and how to handle a request for recommendation for a poor employee.
nowhere near as good as the comic strip, but humerous in some parts.
It was funny at first then became redundant. The reader had a bizarre voice that grated after a while.
Not brilliant by any means (or as good as his first book), but fun and entertaining. Didn't seem to flow right at certain points but that could have been due it being the abridged version.
