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
昨天晚上十点晃到光合作用溜达，本来很郁闷，一翻这书简直要笑死了。就特开心的抱着回家了...比起莫名其妙的就死了，我觉得自己还是幸福多了~捉迷藏、吃冰淇淋、吃巧克力、消化不良、失眠...没什么不是死亡的诱因....难道我真是变态....看见那么多人都那么委屈的死了自己还活着...
评分 评分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...
评分离奇死法大百科，这是一本好厚实的书啊。 从没想过原来死法也可以写这么厚的百科书。 对死亡恐惧与虔诚，让人不得不去认真面对，总有一天会来临的时刻。 与其被动，不如主动去了解，去认识，去知道，让自己不那么害怕，甚至活的不那么忧心忡忡。 那样活着比死更痛苦。 嘿嘿...
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！
