- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've generally always liked the Darwin Awards books, and this one is no exception.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Just plain funny, and head-desk banging stories. It's a great book to read a few stories at a time so that you don't burn out on the stupidity of the human race. Because really, it is pretty stupid sometimes.
