5 People Who Died During Sex: and 100 Other Terribly Tasteless Lists
{ 5 comments… read them below or add one }
I absolutely loved this book. It is very interesting, and provides humorous truths in various categories. It is separated into five or so chapters that are filled with lists I’m sure I’ll refer back to again and again. I highly recommend this. I’ll probably be buying this author’s next work or something else he has written. It’s worth the money!
Rating: 5 / 5
This is a good book to keep handy for times when you might be stuck hanging around with nothing to occupy you.
For example, the doctor’s waiting room. You want to take your mind off the myriad diseases and ailments you might be catching from all the sickly people waiting there with you. The TV is blaring the latest world crisis on CNN (good content when your spirit is flagging). Do you really want to handle those germ-infested copies of People Magazine?
Instead you can read about Adolf Hitler’s cure for flatulence. Or find out that one of the five who died during sex was a Pope(!).
Reviewers have blasted the book’s factual errors as if making a mistake in print is a crime on a par with pedophelia. Grow up! I have news for you: lots of published works have factual, spelling, or grammatical errors.
This book is clearly intended as entertainment, not something President Bush will base national policy on.

I think that the author of this book should’ve gotten the facts straight before releasing this! Singer/Songwriter Jeff Buckley is listed in the book as a suicide, and that is 150% INACCURATE! Jeff’s death was a terrible and tragic accident and for him to be so disrespected like this, it makes me sick!
(I would’ve given this book NO STARS, but I cannot post apparently without giving it at least 1 star)

The book is not even entertaining, and the author has his facts so badly mixed up, you wonder if he ever researched any of the stuff he writes. And yes, Jeff Buckley was NOT a suicide. I find the spreading of this kind of misinformation offensive and disrespectful.

This was a fun, fast read with loads of information. While some of the information is muddled – generally years and bits like Olympic locations, things an editor should’ve picked up on – it is a great launching off point for further reading. Each paragraph gives you just enough to think “Wow, that’s neat/interesting/weird/couldn’t have happened” and make you want to find out more.
