Book Description

June 12, 1999
Smith and Doe, the anonymous authors of What Men Don't Want Women to Know, are at it again! This time they explore the vulgar, absurd, and uncivilized facets of temptation and ask: just how sick and twisted are your personal ethics?

For one million dollars, would you eat a human foot (with the bone removed)?

If nobody ever knew, would you have wild sex with your teenage baby-sitter?

For $7.5 million, would you allow your mate to be kidnapped and held prisoner for one year with only the most basic amenities (no physical or sexual harm will come to them)?

If you had to pick one, would you rather have your child born with a genetic birth defect that causes one of his legs to be half the size of the other, or have your child born in perfect health, but twenty other children will be born with the defect?

For $12,500, would you take a bite out of the urinal puck in a public bathroom?

Dare to answer Smith and Doe's shocking, depraved, despicable questions honestly...no one will ever know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest thing I've read in a long time, January 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Book of Horrible Questions: Everyone Has a Price-What's Yours? (Paperback)
I've got to say it is not easy to make me laugh, and this thing had me on the floor for literally hours. I was LAUGHING OUT LOUD, which is truly surprising, even to me.

Not for the squeamish, this is a very funny look at just how horrible and selfish people really are.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Horrible Book for Horrible People (I guess that means I'm horrible), September 17, 2006
By 
Eric A. Seiden "darsys" (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Book of Horrible Questions: Everyone Has a Price-What's Yours? (Paperback)
Okay, the title pretty much sums up this review in a way. Most of the questions are truly horrific. Take this one:

$1,000,000: Dig up the grave site and such the marrow out of one of the dead person's bones. (Smith or Doe must witness the sucking and confirm the bone is empty -- only then will the money be wired into your account)

I wouldn't do it for $10 million. Yet 8% of the respondents did, indeed, say yes. There's only one question in the book that NOBODY said yes to. Just one. Imagine it, for I won't spoil it here. There are some with SHOCKINGLY high percentages (well above 80%) and some of the jot of this book comes from actually seeing what people will do for a buck (or million).

It's a great mental exercise book and you can learn a great deal about your friends. In fact, more than you'd like to know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and thought-provoking, June 23, 2003
By 
This review is from: The Book of Horrible Questions: Everyone Has a Price-What's Yours? (Paperback)
Although some of the questions in this book are truly horrible (that is, you'd prefer never to consider the circumstances) it is very enjoyable and interesting. Try reading through it with somebody you know well (such as sibling, close friend, or that special someone) and answering the questions honestly. Being candid can be quite a challenge, but you'll notice that if you let your worst side out, then you'll find out a lot of interesting things about the other person as well. In general, the questions asked in the book are funny and thought-provoking and you will begin pondering how you would act in the cases provided. The book is divided into sections: Big Ticket Items, Torture, The Good News and the Bad News, How Much Would You Pay?, "Money Talks, Nobody Walks", Sex Related, "Bargain Basement", Questions of Personal Ethics, Food, If Nobody Ever Knew, Selfish Selfish Bastard, Man's Best Friend, All-Powerful Red Button, Priorities, Incest on Sale, A Crazed Madman Has a Gun, The Smith and Doe Low-Rent Celebrity Auction, and Life Choices. The variety of ways the questions are asked prevent this book from becoming monotonous and allow one to pick a favorite section.
