Reviews
On Feb 16 2017, a reader said:
Fantastically fun book to have sitting around. I read it a pint sized (paragraph or two) vignette at a time. All the stories are hilarious and ironic retelling of how someone died. It always leaves me with a good chuckle about the crazy things that happen to in life. Sometimes the situation is funny, sometimes the reaction to the person's death (as noted in the book) is funny. A great book and all around fun read.
