Jan. 20 2009 By C. J. Little - Published on Amazon.com The shape and cover of the book says it all! A great book that pokes a little humor at a topic most people don't like to talk about - DEATH. I read this book in one sitting and truly enjoyed the humor, history, and seriousness of our eventual demise. 5 out of 5 stars I F@%^&#% LOVE THIS BOOK! April 5 2013 By Marcus Salem - Published on Amazon.com This book has actually come in handy quite often.I'm on my fourth copy(after using them quite often)and I am still in love with this book!It has a many facts about death and in relation to death. It keeps almost all facts in good taste and doesn't stray into the unjustifiable conspiracy theories that some other books of the genre sway into. Great halloween gift. Dec 16 2013 By Eve - Published on Amazon.com I first got this book years ago for my birthday and now i read it every year. I have even gotten into the habit of getting one each year for my Halloween "Secret reaper" gift exchange. Always a riot.
