 Not as funny as the first ( jedavis30 )
I bought this for my lab and read it after I took a job as a professor. Not nearly as funny as when I read the earlier one while a grad student. Get to work you slackers, your professor is watching.

you get it...or you don't... but PhD students WILL get it!
I read many mixed reviews: some are from people totally unfamiliar to the PhD and graduate school world. and just for that, they will not find it funny at all. however, if you are a grad student, or already graduated, chances are high that you'll find yourself in this book. it's smart, it's right on, and it's is incredibly - and nerdly - funny.
get it for yourself, for a friend or family member who is a grad student, and you'll make someone happy.
if not, forget about it, everything will look like private jokes that you wont be able to understand.

Jorge did it again ( djimenez81 )
I didn't know of the existence of this comic strip until Jorge Cham came to Georgia Tech... I think two years ago or so. Well, since then, I am a fan of it. I have, up to now (11/07) all the books he has published, and they have given me and some of my friends, countless hours of laughter.
As I said when I rated the first book of the series, it's great humor, though, not for everyone. But if you have been in grad school for at least a couple of years in your life, I bet you will enjoy it all through.

Even if you're not a grad student
It's fantastic to see several situations of your grad student life in this comic. Jorge Cham continue to express the voice of thousands master and phd students who claim for freedom and wonder if there are something more in life than studies, papers, conferences, computers and free food.
About the text you can find more of the usual: advisors exploiting students (i.e. professor Smith and the nameless student), life in the laboratory, Tajel and her protests, Cecilia with her chocolates, I, Grad Student and The Thesis Zone (phd parodies of I, Robot and the The Twilight Zone), and a lot of things about Mike including his life in procastination, free food, a way to sleep in the lab, and finally his Thesis Defense.

Great book ... but only people who have been in grad school will get the jokes ( gusilu )
If you're a grad student you will find all kinds of situations in this book that mirror your life. What better than to be able to laugh at them?
