Book Description

October 1, 2003
Parasitic consultants, weaselly stockbrokers, masochistic coworkers and the ever-present, evil-plotting pointy-haired boss? Welcome to the seventh circle of hell, er, the 22nd collection of Scott Adams¿ stupendously popular comic strip, Dilbert! Words You Don¿t Want to Hear During Your Annual Performance Review updates loyal readers on the mind-numbing careers of Dilbert, Wally, Alice, the PHB himself, and an ever-expanding cast of walk-on ¿guest stars.¿ In this installment, a cash-sucking ¿consultick¿ burrows under the boss¿s skin, a not-so-grim reaper pops anti-depressants, and a lab accident turns Dilbert into a sheep¿a transformation which goes barely noticed by his beleaguered coworkers. All the while, Adams takes his patented over-the-top but right-on-the-money jabs at the inanity of the corporate world. Dilbert¿s fans are legion and loyal. They have purchased seven million cartoon collection books and counting. The Dilbert comic strip appears in 2,000 newspapers and in 65 countries in 19 languages.

5.0 out of 5 stars As always, pure Dilbert gold!, October 14, 2003
By 
William Daniels III "D" (Mt. Morris, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Words You Don't Want to Hear During Your Annual Review: A Dilbert Book (Paperback)
If you are like me, you will buy this book just because it is the next Dilbert treasury.

If you aren't like me, you should still buy this if you would like a laugh.

After almost 15 years, Dilbert has evolved, but is still going strong. Although characters like Ratbert and Bob don't make as many appearances anymore, Scott Adams has brought us many new specific characters, like the above mentioned ConsulTick. There are many of these characters in this treasury.

This book will bring a few smiles to your face. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Dilbert Hilarity, October 24, 2003
By 
Joshua Koppel (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Words You Don't Want to Hear During Your Annual Review: A Dilbert Book (Paperback)
This is the latest collection of Dilbert strips (not one of the larger treasuries with color). Once again we enter the crazy business world of Dilbert and shudder to realize both how accurate it is and that Dilbert is the most normal person in the strip.

In this collection we get such story arcs as:
The return of Bob the Dinosaur
Dilbert turns into a sheep
The annoying consultick
Dilbert grows an exoskeleton
The new dress-code: Barrels

Another fine collection for just about anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest Dilbert books, February 28, 2004
By 
Mr. Bey (Riverside, CT United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Words You Don't Want to Hear During Your Annual Review: A Dilbert Book (Paperback)
One of the reasons I like this one so much is because it contains the comic strips that I always read in the paper last year. These are a few of the reasons why you should buy this book.

Toxic Tom
Dilbert as a sheep
Wally being lasy a usual
Dogbert's Tech Support
The Consultick
Dilbert's mood altering drugs
The furniture psychic
The new dress code which is barrels
My favorite comic which is the one where Wally researches Greek names for a new product

This are a bunch of really great comics and they are a must buy for all Dilbert fans.
