Customer Reviews

Great for a quick laugh

This book is for people with a sense of humor, especially those of us who feel that anything can be made fun of at any time. I've gone through this book many times, and it's funny every time. Granted some of the "unpleasant ways to die" are funnier than others, but some of them are just downright hysterical. Great book, hoping for a sequel!

VERY FUNNY

Please note - you will have two reactions to this book - you will either LOVE it or you will HATE it. It really depends on whether you have a dark sense of humor and can laugh at the misery of others. While earlier reviewers are correct - they're not always the most clever ways of dying - they are still unpleasant. What I think makes the book particularly good is that the illustrations are outstanding. Every image conveys movement, despite the fact that it's just a drawing.

Endless laughter, long after the book was looked at!!!!!

I first saw this book in my spanish class in high school. The owner handed it to me and just sat back and watched as I broke out in laughter with every page I turned. That day in class was very quick compared to the usual hum-drum of day to day monotony. I didn't want that book to end ever. I liked it so much that I decided to go out and buy one for myself. That was 6 years ago, and the book is sitting right next to me by my computer. I still laugh every time I look at it! The book itself is now in shambles, with every page out of order and some missing, because I flipped through it so much! You know, I wish there was a website that had his material on it, because I'm almost positive that Mr. Fleisher has come up with several new pictures that haven't been published. What do you say, man? Do it for your fans! :)Thanks! Joe R.

Name of the book basically sums it up.

This is probably the funniest book I've ever read. And best of all, NO WORDS!!! Many of the situations in the book are very humorous and others are just plain tasteless. Nonetheless, this is a great book.

Hilarious but sick.

Seems like it would be the most disgusting book ever written but it turns out to be the funniest book ever written, no words needed, far side type.
