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
编辑的能力不咋样，内容倒确实千奇百怪，还有很多莫名其妙的统计数据，什么美国每年在看脱口秀时死亡的人数啊、每年死于吃中药的人数、打喷嚏死的……难以想象人类居然会遇到如此多的死亡原因！好吧，看完后的感觉就是，我能活到这么大也挺不容易的，都不知道逃过多少个“致死...
评分各种莫名其妙的死亡愿意，有些让人瞠目结舌，原来有时候死亡真的会很意外的发生。 睡觉前无聊，可以看看。不会让你放不下而影响睡眠。
评分 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！
