review 1: It is hard to review a book like this, but I review all my books. It was funny, as expected. I learned a little science, which was not expected. Stupid people died. Some survived. Some are now infertile and can no longer contribute to the gene pool. This book is great to read if you're looking for a no-brainer, if you're sick, if you need a book to take to a noisy, busy place that will not involve concentration or thought, the Darwin Awards books are ideal. It was cute, funny, and made me feel very smart. What more can you ask for?
review 2: I have always enjoyed these books, but found this one to be wanting. There were a few amusing anecdotes, but the 'scientific interludes' actually took up far more space in the book than the actual stories themselves. I want... more to see more Darwin winners and nominees, not learn about genes and sex habits. Eh. Well, as a series these books are great, I just didn't like this one as much as I have in the past. The idea of the Darwin awards though, is brilliant, and I definitely would suggest reading earlier editions. less
