Book Reviews of The Fluorescent Light Glistens Off Your Head

Book Review: Back in the Office
Summary: 4 Stars

One of the things I really liked about this newest collection of Dilbert strips is that they really stay in the office. Gone are all of the side trips to Dilbert's home, Ratbert's antics, strange dates, and other non-office stories. While many such have been quite funny, this series goes back to what Dilbert is all about; the office.

Dilbert, Wally, Alice, Asok, Tina and the rest of the staff have to deal with and survive the madness that is management, marketing, payroll and the executives. They do so with their usual style. Among the story arcs in this collection are:
The Secret Society of Executive Secretaries
The cursed and deadly binders
The Non-Credible Guy
The Prima Donna
The New Hire
Dilbert and stopped time
Bribery
The Ultra-Donut

And many, many more in a collection of wit, humor, and an almost scary dose of reality that has you thinking Scott Adams works in your office.

Summary of The Fluorescent Light Glistens Off Your Head

He captures our workplace frustrations with dead-on accuracy. He knows all about the technophobic vice president, the fascist information systems supervisor, and even the big stubborn dumb guy. How does he do it? How does he know? It's downright spooky. Scott Adams, get out of our heads!

He captures our workplace frustrations with dead-on accuracy. He knows all about the technophobic vice president, the fascist information systems supervisor, and even the big stubborn dumb guy. How does he do it? How does he know? It's downright spooky. Scott Adams, get out of our heads! The notion that Dilbert creator Scott Adams has secretly bugged every office, cubicle, and conference room in America-a belief widely held by Dilbert fans-has been debunked by pointy-haired experts. This discovery leads to an even more sinister yet inescapable conclusion: that the lunacy you thought was unique to your workplace is spreading with a viral malignancy across the nation's business landscape.

Yes, the Corporate America brand of insanity has garnered a majority market share among white-collar managers and so-called leaders at companies large and small. Product features (let's not call them benefits) of this insanity include inflated executive salaries, irrelevant performance objectives, insipid management fads, inscrutable e-mail, interminable meetings, and oppressive work environments.

Dilbert is the inadvertent poster child for the Corporate America brand. In The Fluorescent Light Glistens Off Your Head, he and his power-hungry dog, Dogbert, provide much-needed comic relief to working stiffs toiling in cubicles everywhere.
