If you are a Dilbert reader, then you will definitely enjoy this book. If you are not, than this is as good an introduction as any to Dilbert and his corporate world. In this volume, the workplace thrives on vague language as there is play on vaguely defined objectives (as if they are ever defined), goals, acronyms, and a lot of HR issues as well. Overall, as someone who has been reading Dilbert for a while, I have to say this book is good, but not as great as previous works. I don't think Adams is losing steam just yet, but some of his previous works just seem funnier. By the way, this is the book that contains the strip about dolphins and lawyers.
