具体描述
To die, kick the bucket, to meet your Maker, dead as a doornail, get whacked, smoked, bite the dust, sleep with the fishes, go six feet under—whatever death is called, it's going to happen. In 1789 Ben Franklin wrote, "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Death remains a certainty. But how do we die? It's the enormous variety of how that enlivens final exits. According to death certificates, in 1700 there were less than 100 causes of death. Today there are 3,000. With each advance of technology, people find new ways to become deceased, often causing trends that peak in the first year. People are now killed by everything, from cell phones, washing machines, lawn mowers and toothpicks, to the boundless catalog of man—made medicines. In Final Exits the causes of death—bizarre or common—are alphabetically arranged and include actual accounts of people, both famous and ordinary, who unfortunately died that way. (Ants, bad words, Bingo, bean bag chairs, flying cows, frozen toilets, hiccups, lipstick, moray eels, road kill, starfish, and toupees are only some of the more unusual causes.)

读后感
很久前听说过有本书叫《死猫的一百种用法》，马桶刷、不求人、沙发扶手等不一而足，十分喷饭。现在看来此书大约是杜撰的，因为如此喷饭的书居然从来没见它有卖或网上有连载，谁见过请一定通知我。 死猫的用法暂且不论，猫死的方法可能不是太多，世界上有多少猫谁也数不清，相...
评分读过n遍的枕边书。一般看个四五十页就睡着了。。。也是五道口光合作用书店买来，之后一路漂洋过海的书之一，非常喜欢。大概我本人确实有崇尚死亡的倾向吧。。
评分这本书之前刚买到的时候，翻开看内容，跟我想象中的还是有些出入。介绍总是比较诱人，内容总是比较失望。但是还好，这么书写了各种各样的死的方式，看了有些有点好笑。我觉得还是不错的。因为有好多同学都找我借这本书看。
评分编辑的能力不咋样，内容倒确实千奇百怪，还有很多莫名其妙的统计数据，什么美国每年在看脱口秀时死亡的人数啊、每年死于吃中药的人数、打喷嚏死的……难以想象人类居然会遇到如此多的死亡原因！好吧，看完后的感觉就是，我能活到这么大也挺不容易的，都不知道逃过多少个“致死...
