具體描述
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.)

讀後感
说实话这本书不那么有趣，至少不像简介里介绍的那样有趣，也不像看完目录后想象的那么有趣。比如“被老鼠要死”“被蚊子咬死”不过是说被这些东西要过后感染病毒死去。这实在是平淡无奇，跟被狗咬了得狂犬病而死有什么区别吗？ 不知是翻译的问题还是本就如此，书中文字非常直白...
評分 評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。
評分我小时候有种怪病，姑且称为“宇宙恐惧症”。一般入夜便发，很有些欧阳锋华山顶上苦思“我是谁我生从何来死往何去”的腔调。类似于《三国演义》里秦宓刁难张温：“天既轻清，轻清外又有何物？”着了此道，每念及生死大事，不免悲从中来，越悲越胡思乱想。求诸于书，夫子们也不...
評分我曾经不止一次地想过将会以怎样的方式与死神见面。想象中的死神应该披着黑衣，走到哪里都带着雷霆闪电。他神色匆忙、面孔严峻。看到我，只需轻轻挥一挥手中的死亡权杖，我的灵魂就会被死死缚在黑灵车上，无处遁逃。 然而根据《死亡大辞典》的解释，死神的样子并不是这样。他...
