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.)

评分绝对的，值得一看。我本来以为死亡，不就那几样的嘛，原来原来还有那么的多！ 什么喝水多了也会中水毒，家里的蟑螂老鼠之类的都会导致死亡。连去游乐园都会死亡，方式是那么的多，太可怕了，你不知道你下一秒会在哪？ 书里偶尔也有诙谐的字句，比如，关于一个女的挟持一只猫，...
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。。
评分关于死亡的的方式那么多种，我原本以为死亡就只有那几种，没想到，竟然有那么多种。 看完不禁感慨。活着是多么得重要！
