The Darwin Awards: The Descent of Man (Hardcover)

by Wendy Northcutt (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In this miniature volume taken from the best-selling Darwin Awards series, men meet their inner idiots as they remove themselves from the gene pool. Driven by testosterone, they engage in unnatural encounters with vegetables, select bizarre rendezvous locations, and use downright dangerous erotic aids, thereby confirming the common belief that men don't always think with their brains. Including full-color illustrations and nine never-before-published stories, this miniature collection makes a wonderful addition to the Darwin Awards library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excerpts on stupid humans, August 7, 2007

By	James D. Crabtree "Doc Crabtree" (Guantanamo Bay, Cuba) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Some hilarious stories, but the books small size makes it impossible for it to be a GREAT book. A good book to read if you just want a little something.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining stories in a small package, December 17, 2007

This is physically a small book that can fit well in your shirt pocket. The stories are entertaining. I prefer the bigger books of the series, but this is a nice addition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Darwin The descent of man by Wendy Northcutt, November 25, 2007

By	H. Crosby "book nut" (Frosty funland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not up to the fine standards as the previous works, much briefer and in a differet size. Would be better to wait for more material and make it similar to the other three. It was fine as it was but left quite a bit to be desired.
