Overview

In this hilarious new book, Scott Adams introduces the Weasel Zone -- the giant gray area between good moral behavior and outright criminality. It's where your coworkers, bosses, salespeople, CEOs, human resource executives, hotel clerks, home repair people, and loved ones reside.

In twenty-seven compelling chapters, Scott reveals the secrets of these slippery characters: how to recognize them, how they operate, how to stop them in their tracks -- and how you, too, can become a weasel.

You'll learn the best practice weasel methods for avoiding work, besting coworkers, and hiding your incompetence. To enhance your personal life, you'll find precise instructions for training your spouse to become your remote-controlled robot, whining like a weasel no matter how good your life is (even if you're a bestselling author!) and using Weaseleze, the official tounge of weasels, to conceal your meaning and confuse your enemies.

Scott is such a weasel

Written by Scott T on August 14th, 2008

  • Book Rating: 2/5

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!

Good stuff

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.

Typical Scott Adams

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.

Fun & Insightful

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...

Disappointing

Even as an engineer who loves the strip, I could not get through this book.

A must read for any Dilbert Fan, very funny

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.
