Summary: Scraping barnacles
Review: Some have criticised this volume for a lack of examples of really outstanding stupidity but on at least 3 occasions we read of people "careening" down a road. 'Careening' is the act of scraping barnacles from the bottom of a ship and if this has been attempted in the circumstances described, on so many occasions, then this is truly a wonderful way to earn a Darwin!!!
Please, please, Darwin use language correctly.

Summary: I liked it a lot
Review: Some have said it's more of the same... hello? What do you expect? Of course it's more of the same. That's why we bought the book. The stories are sad and yet amusing. We all find humour in morality lessons and these are another version of morality lessons. I enjoy reading the Darwin Awards, a few every night to savour them. They're light reading, not deep, yet they remind you that life if precious and easier to lose than we think. Keep publishing, Darwin... I am waiting to put book 4 on my Christmas list.

Summary: Learning from others...
Review: Some people you can tell them the stove is hot. Some have to see someone else get burned. Still, others have to get burned. This is a good book for people to learn how to avoid a Darwin Award.

Summary: Incomprehensible Stupidity never gets old
Review: Some readers of the first edition have reviewed the second and third editions as "old" or "unoriginal". I beg to differ. Every darwin award story is quite original! Oh please let them be original.. if these people do what they do (often fatal or permanentaly mutating actions I might add) for attention, then THANK YOU for removing them from the gene pool. This isn't a book to read and think "OK, I will never do THAT" - gosh I hope it's not- otherwise You Too need to be sterilized. This is simply another in a pleasantly increasing line of books about the AMAZING bounds of stupidity in human nature. Definate BUY on this one, great "sitting on the toilet" book. 2 thumbs and 8 other digits UP review.

Summary: One Man Speaks His Mind
Review: The "Darwin Awards" books keep me awake at night. The myriad stories about the ways we "chlorinate the gene pool" keep my wife awake, as well, because I have a tendency to laugh too loud.

Summary: It's nice being capable of intellectual thought
Review: The Darwin Awards create a reason to live for myself. Knowing that there are people out there to lessen competition in life just pleases me. The human race is made up of individuals who are below average (Darwin Awards), average (Honorable Mentions), and above average (those who can write books about these kind of things). For all of those who think that these stories are boring to read by oneself, you should do the following when you are with friends, on a long flight or ride in the car with family, etc.: Take turns passing the book around and reading stories. Merely open the book to random pages and read the passages. This provides several hours of entertainment (On a band trip in Orlando, we did this on the charter bus for the entire week).

Summary: Darwin Awards......best of bizarre and stupid behavior
Review: The Darwin Awards stories are ALWAYS interesting and ALMOST ALWAYS amusing. I look forward to getting one for Christmas or my birthday every year! They are a celebration of the old adage that genius has it's limits, but stupidity knows no bounds.
The book is well worth the read and a great one, because of it's short story format, to keep in the bathroom or take to work for your lunchbreak. The latter is a better use because you will want to share the tales with friends and co-workers. Even stupid people should own a copy if only as an example for what NOT to do!!!

Summary: Third Time A Charm .... To Quit
Review: The first book was great, the second only marginal, the last is pitiful. It was a waste of money.

Summary: Running low on new (and humorous) material
Review: The latest book incarnation of the famed "Darwin Awards" by Wendy Northcutt covers the usual assortment of nitwits who offed themselves while doing things worthy of nitwits. An Internet phenomenon now on its third book, The Darwin Awards make for amusing reads for those who possess a little something dark in their humor. The problem with this third edition is that it simply does not deliver the goods when compared with previous editions. Has the joke worn off or are these examples not all that great? Is Northcutt running low on new material? Perhaps. Maybe a few more years between editions might make for better stories. The filler material in the book is also weak and further illustrates that there is not much here. Truth is, The Darwin Awards website is better than this book. And since the site costs nothing, skip the book.
