Book Description

Dilbert Books (Paperback Andrews McMeel) August 30, 2002
"Once every decade, America is gifted with an angst-ridden anti-hero, a Nietzschean nebbish, an us-against-the-universe everyperson around whom our insecurities collect like iron shavings to a magnet. Charlie Chaplin. Dagwood Bumstead. Charlie Brown. Cathy. Now, Dilbert." --The Miami Herald

The former occupant of cubicle 4S700R at Pacific Bell seems to have made a go of this cartoon strip thing. What began as a doodling diversion that Scott Adams shared with his officemates has exploded into one of the most read cartoon strips worldwide.

This Dilbert treasury, What Do You Call a Sociopath in a Cubicle? Answer: A Coworker, brings together all of the office psychos who have annoyed Dilbert and entertained millions. This compilation pays homage to some of the most annoying and outrageous characters Adams' has ever drawn-characters he likes to call office "sociopaths."

* Edfred the two-faced man

* Anne L. Retentive

* Nervous Ted

* Loud Howard

* Alice and her fist of death

This full-color treasury reinforces everything that makes the strip great by lampooning the people and processes of business. Adams homes in on all the quirky coworkers that drive us crazy in the corporate world. He has fun at the expense of office oafs found in workplaces everywhere--creatures like the Office Sociopath, who listens to voice mail on his speaker phone, and the Exactly Man, who punctuates everything with a finger point, exclaiming "Exactly!" The result is a book that leaves readers knowingly rolling their eyes and, of course, laughing uproariously.

3.0 out of 5 stars Recycled material, September 30, 2002
This review is from: What Do You Call A Sociopath In A Cubicle? Answer: A Coworker (A Dilbert Treasury) (Paperback)
Although I'm one of the biggest Dilbert fans, I'd have to give a warning about buying this book.

If you already own a number of Dilbert albums, then you're not getting anything new in this collection, and you'd be wise to save your money.

If you are new to owning Dilbery albums, then this is a pretty good collection of cartoons showing how coworkers can be real sociopaths.

However, the editors didn't spend much time checking this book over because I've actually found duplicate cartoons on different pages as well as a couple of strips in the incorrect logical order.

1.0 out of 5 stars This recycling is getting tiresome, January 20, 2004
By 
This review is from: What Do You Call A Sociopath In A Cubicle? Answer: A Coworker (A Dilbert Treasury) (Paperback)
Let's start this off by saying that I have always been a fan of Dilbert and it is one of the few comic strips I'll buy in collected form. That being said, the constant recycling of of material has hit a new low with this collection. Once again using previously collected material from 1989-2001, this collection does not even give the reader accompanying text from Adams, just a short intro that adds nothing to the reader's enjoyment. Are the "cubical sociopaths" separated from one another by anything other than chronological order? No! If you are a Dilbert fan and own the other collections, save your money. It's almost like this one was designed by the marketing department and put together at the last minute by Wally.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'd give it fewer stars if I could., March 19, 2003

This review is from: What Do You Call A Sociopath In A Cubicle? Answer: A Coworker (A Dilbert Treasury) (Paperback)
I felt like I'd been mugged by Scott Adams after purchasing this book. It's just more of the recycled pap he's been peddling for years now. Save your money and buy the older books.
