Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! Some of the "practical" uses are hilarious.

That sounds like a novel and entertaining book. I think putting it in a doctor’s waiting room might be a bad advert though. :lol: Thanks for the review, I enjoyed it.

Sounds like a good idea I will do the same. I'm 15 pages in and eating with fam sounds like a good tribute.

Are there really 101 things? Did the author cite his references like Mafia organizations, medical schools, gravediggers, mortuaries, forensic pathologists, death row convicts, etc.? I am dying to read this book! I agree with Helen Combe that the doctor's office may not be the right place for it, though. A beauty salon may not be the right place, either. LOL!

Wow, what a unique way to create humour. I wonder how the author was able to think up such an idea. Thanks for the interesting review.

I need to keep my ex in mind the next time I happen to stumble across a dead body 😂 good review and an hilarious idea. I agree, though, a bit more of text wouldn’t have hurt.

This sounds like THE book to read after you wade through any intense self-help book or a long and somewhat dry book that you really don't want to read after the 1/2 way mark. Humor is definitely called for then and this sounds like it would hit the spot! Thanks for the great review.

I really enjoyed reading your review. This sounds like a really fun book. I think I would like the intelligent, dark humor. I think it will be a nice break from longer narratives. Maybe I will check it out. Thanks for the great review.
