The Darwin Awards 5: Next Evolution (Abridged) Audiobook

" Really interesting how so many people can be so stupid. The book is named so correctly. Those people really do need to be removed from the gene pool. "

" Too Good...I just can't believe people can be sooooo stupid... "

" It was so horrible and awful....and I couldn't put it down and just kept reading. It was great to see the rules for being included. (i.e. no children, no mentally impaired people). "

" gave it a 2 because it doesn't interest me a lot "

" With so many unconfirmed reports, it's hard to appreciate this book. The sporadic scientific essays are interesting, but the book is pretty weak overall. At times I felt guilty reading it, as if I were taunting dead people. Don't waste your time with this book. "

" This is the perfect book to read in short spurts. I loved all of the stories. "

" It's a bit depressing to read a bunch of these stories all at one time. Really, are any of us certain we aren't going to end up like this? "

" Reading about 10 of these vignettes would have enough. And it really felt like a cop-out that some of these stories aren't even validated - so it's just recycling bunch of likely-not-true myths. Read a few of the real, validated ones on her website and skip the book. "

" The format change, with all of the scientific info in between the chapters, was disappointing. I like the books for the comedic relief they provide. I don't want to learn anything from these books, other than the really stupid way people meet their own ends... "

" I disagree with her views on evolution, but the stories are hilarious and bizarre. "

" Stupid people doing stupid things. Some stories were pretty hilarious, others were rather, um, stupid. "

" Love how humorous the topic is presented, in fact, the humor is in the acts of stupidity. Enjoyable! "

" just what I needed to get my mind off how hectic my life has become. "

" Picked this up from the New Book shelf at the library and it wasn't as entertaining as I expected. I've read more interesting and detailed accounts of the awards on the Internet. "

" I love to read these stories because they are hilarious and dastardly crazy. No obviously fellow humans dying is not a funny thing, but it is funny for how they died and their general stupidity. That is why we have these prestigious awards and books. "

" Cannot decide whether these stories are sad or downright hysterical. Like the "scientific interludes" in between each section. "

" Classic darwinism, not much else can be said as it is like any other Darwin Award book out there. "

" Horrible fascination with the idiotic things people do to off themselves. Is it a character fault of mine? :p "

" Better than the previous Darwin Awards books because of the organization and extra tidbits. "

" Long car trip - 1,000 Ways to Die Audio version. "

" I like to read while I eat breakfast, but I don't like anything too involved lest I never leave the table and go to work. I thought this would be a fun breakfast read, but it turns out the novelty of stupid death stories wears off pretty quickly. I do love the movie "The Darwin Awards," however. "

" Absolutely hilarious. This really is a strong argument for Darwin's theory... "

" Hilarious! I can't believe how flat out STUPID dome people are. "

" Not as good as previous books, mainly because of the new additions. They should stick to the formula that works, people dying in dumb ways. There is way to much other stuff in this book and it cuts down on the space for good stories. Still it is good for a laugh. "

" Hilarious book, if anyone can remember EOG week last year, I shared some of the best stories everyone. "

" The Darwin Awards are always a hoot. "

" Classic darwinism, not much else can be said as it is like any other Darwin Award book out there. "

" Stupid people doing stupid things. Some stories were pretty hilarious, others were rather, um, stupid. "

" Love how humorous the topic is presented, in fact, the humor is in the acts of stupidity. Enjoyable! "

" The stories were funnier (although just as sad as/) than I thought they'd be. I wasn't expecting the "science interludes," but those were my favorite part of the book, covering all kinds of topics, including the history of making insulin from E. coli and mantle plumes "

" It's a bit depressing to read a bunch of these stories all at one time. Really, are any of us certain we aren't going to end up like this? "

" Two thoughts kept running through my head while reading this. 1) These are almost exclusively about men 2) How on earth am I going to be able to warn my sons about all the idiotic things they might consider doing, but shouldn't. "
