Summary: Third time not exactly the charm, but ...
Review: We are surrounded by idiots. If you aren't convinced, then pick up "The Darwin Awards 3." There's pleny there to convince you, and to keep you laughing as well. (Just be careful if you're prone to eat while reading; you just might be featured in "Darwin 4." Or "Darwin 5.") But isn't the gag getting old? After three installments and endless write-ups in newspapers and magazines, we get the point. I'm not sure what's more disturbing: That the stories contained in "Darwin III" are (purportedly, at least) true, or that this series sells as well as it does. I mean, it's a great bathroom book -- something to read in short bursts (or longer bursts, depending on the state of your constitution), but I would hope there would be a greater hunger for more substantive reading. Still, if you're looking for the mental equivalent of a light snack, "Darwin 3" is perfect.

Summary: I couldn't put it down...
Review: Wendy has outdone herself with this third book in her Darwin Award series. The format includes a number of illustrations, which are quite amusing in their own right. But the best part of the book is the hilarious collection of zany, and usually deadly antics, by those who didn't foresee the results of their actions. This collection is composed of all new stories, each of which is a little treasure. Instead of reading little bits at a time, as I did with her other collections, I finished this one in two days and wanted more. I'm buying several to give out as holiday gifts.

Summary: The books are getting worse
Review: What was a good idea has been stretched too thin. The chapter introductions are unbearable. What should be light and frothy become instead attempts at a rather tiresome black humour. I realize that the author probably needs to publish everyonce in a while but this now is not funny and the overall feeling when one finishes is one of weariness for the poor souls who met their maker and the repeated attempts by the author to make light of them.

Summary: A good chuckle!
Review: While the first two editions may have cleared the backlog of some of humanity's more improbable fatal antics, this third in the series still has plenty of delightful, dismaying and depressing stories of human stupidity. Still a good read.

Summary: Interesting and Amusing. A Bit Too Misantrhopic, though!
Review: Yes, I suppose that a fellow sitting in a tree chopping branches, who chops the one he's sitting on, falling to his death, is morbidly funny. We can find humor all over, and a good laugh can help make friendships, too! The "Darwin Awards" is turning into a minor literary franchise, and it is among the cleverest set of current books you can read! People who unwittingly arrange their own demise can be darkly humorous too! However, at times this book (and the others in the series,too) seems to go a bit close to the edge of nasty mockery! But since I'm giving it 4-stars, even I can succumb to these stinging commentaries on the pure stupidity of the human species!
