The Darwin Awards II (Abridged): Unnatural Selection Audiobook

" Good for a quick short laugh. Part II "

" Continues to prove a variant on the Dan Rather quote (he mentioned Afros which got him into hot water) that Humanity is thinning its gene because the dumber people have more children (re: "Idiocracy") "

" still too funny "

" I read it while recuperating from an illness, and it was a great book for humor, and outlandish circumstances. "

" I'm still loving these books, very interesting and since they are short stories you can put it down and pick back up anytime. "

" Well, yes, it's amusing to read of other's stupidity. "

" More people dying in stupid ways. That's about it, but it sure is fun to read. "

" I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. I guess most of the stories were just generally stupid and not in a hugely funny way. It was fairly short anyway and there were some interesting little mini-essays to start off each section. "

" sufficiently amusing "

" A book that will make you laugh and shake your head! "

" Just as hilarious as the first! "

" Even funnier than the first one. I especially love the comments by the author at the end of each story. "

" More of the same old stuff. "

" We all got to go. When I go, I don't want to deserve it. "

" Familiar stuff. "

" I picked up at the church book fair for a buck. Was hoping to laugh a lot. I didn't find it as funny as I expected. It was just ok. But boy are there a lot of stupid things people do. "

" More of the same - you find yourself laughing and wincing at the same time, and then thinking of idiots you've known who might qualify someday. "

" From the web-site, plus evolutionary comments. "

" I think I mentioned this with the first volume but do not attempt to consume too many stories at once. Yes, people do amazingly stupid things and die, but read too many at once and you'll start wanting everyone to get on with it. "

" Nowhere near as good as the original. Long-winded, packed with science-drone and repeats deaths from book one. Disappointing. "

" Kinda morbid, kinda funny, kinda sad. And whats worse, sometimes I feel like I'd screw up like them too. (Well, maybe just once or twice.) "

" Too many non-Darwin awards as well as acknowledged hoaxes. "

" With her books, I always start off laughing at peoples' idiocy, like the guy who tries to have liposuction in a garage using a vacuum, but by the end of the book feel sorry for everyone who leaves their mark on the world by dying a stupid death. "

" Stupid human tricks and amazing bouts of stupidity make me laugh. "

" People are dumb, and this book is proof. Some of the things that people do are just amazingly dumb, and even if they don't die, sometimes you have to wonder how they didn't. "

" Another book in a series that I shouldn't find funny, but do. What is wrong with me that I think that death of other human beings can be hilarious? "

" Well, yes, it's amusing to read of other's stupidity. "

" One of my favorite quotes: Evolution: Taking care of those to stupid to take care of themselves. All the way through both books my constant thought was "What were these people thinking?" "
