Funny!

This is an amazingly funny book. The crazy ways people can leave this world is expressed in this book as stories about there deaths. I almost did not buy this book because I thoght "Making A book about people doing stupid things, and then dieing? What horrible person would make a book about this" But soon I found out that Wendy Northcutt has found one of the funniest subjects in comedy. I didn't know that people would do such crazy and stupid things. Jason Harris also contributes to the laughs with his great narration of this book.
I will probobly read this book over and over again.

Good book, but...

Good stories, good narration, but extremely, extremely annoying clown music between chapters. No reason not to get it.

Good overall

Apart from a couple glaring mispronunciations (Saguaro, Cuyahoga) I enjoyed this book. Not sure why stories from Darwin Awards 1 are repeated though. Skip the last 20 minutes if you don’t want to hear that content twice.
