Review title: Awful - I used to be a Darwin fan.
Product review: This book contains stories that in most cases are more pathetic than funny. And that's coming from a guy who used to be a big Darwin Awards fan. A typical story tells of an abusive boyfriend (guffaw) who goes to jail for beating his girlfriend (chortle). She begs the judge to release him because she can't afford the rent (hee hee). He kills her and burns her body (giggle), and then blows himself up trying to burn the house down. Haw Haw haw! If you like that you'll love the book.Most of the funnier stories are "Urban Legends", which is to say, fabrications. Even these aren't written with good comic sense. Worst by far is the revelation that the two best Darwin winners ever ( The twin dufuses at the Metalica concert and the home made Ford fairlane/Rocket sled), were made up. I would have been happier if I had not read the book and had my bubble burst. Actually I received a gift set of volumes 1 and 2. Didn't finish the first. Don't plan on reading the second.
