This is a book of very morbid hilarity. It also exudes an amount of contrarianism. Do it. Buy it. Let yourself laugh.

In my earlier review (below) I stated that Adam Green's book "What were you in a previous life?" was no longer available...apparently it IS available now. I bow before the publishing gods...THANK YOU for bringing this book back! Now that it IS available, I suggest that everyone buy one or two copies. If you already have it, they make great gifts! If you have any doubts about just HOW funny this book is, read the reviews. You won't be disappointed...unless you're completely humorless and dead inside.

As a number of the other reviews noted, this collection is not for everyone. But, if jokes about torn puppies, monitoring your friends for hints of suicide, and dog vomit are your cup o' tea, then this book is for you.

One of the funniest books I've ever read.

If you're looking for a hilarious, raunchy, and totally unusual comic, then you MUST read Adam Green's now out-of-print work "What Were You In a Previous Life?"

Green's comic style uses mostly one panel, in-your-face graphics accompanied by one liners that can only be categorized as bizarre.

Here's just one example of what I mean: One of Green's comics has the headline, "If animals could talk." The artwork below it has a triangular cat telling his mistress to "Touch my butt." His owner responds by saying, "Leave my house!"

If you thought that was funny, THAT was just the tip of the iceberg. You must read this book!

We should all weep, because most people are too stupid to appreciate Adam Green's fine sense of humor. Due to these fine individuals not buying this brilliant book, it is now out of print. I am sad. Fortunately Adam's other book, the Book of Hollow Days is still available, and every bit as funny. If you don't own any Adam Green yet, you owe it to yourself to find some of his work. You will laugh until you are in severe pain.

I second all the opinions of this book. I got it for a birthday present when it first came out and now I loan it out to my friends since they can't find it. Every time i re-read it I find myself still laughing out loud. If you like bizarre, wickedly funny humor, this book _cannot_ be beaten!

if not then this is a find of a lifetime. I understand that this title is now out print but if you like humor that's intelligent (or not so), inspired (or not so), and cleverly drawn (definitely not so) this is it. Family dysfunction, drugs & booze, God, and Elvis---it's has all the goods. Signing off with a line from the book, "I'm basically anti-violence, pro-orgasm."
