DNF @ 9% with zero stars given I tried to get into this book, but it just didn't grab me. The author attempts to be witty and funny, but he falls flat. This isn't a terrible book by any means, but I found it extremely tedious. The humor is not for everyone (I'm probably not in the target audience). It is almost vital that the reader know about the various mythologies, theologies, art, and literature. Without this knowledge going in, a lot will go over the reader's head. I might try to read this again in the future when I'm in the right frame of mind for it. Started out very funny, but the humor petered out by the end. It's worth picking up for the introduction and the first 30 pages, but I went from laughing once a page to giving the occasional chuckle every ten pages or so. I think the biggest problem was that everyone was so cartoonish that any humor based on their personalities felt thin and contrived. Still, there were some interesting theological jabs in there, so it was fun for my brain. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The shocking new memoir from Death--this long-awaited autobiography finally reveals the inner story of one of the most troubling, and troubled, figures in history At last, the mysterious, feared, and misunderstood being known only as "Death" talks frankly and unforgettably about his infinitely awful existence, chronicling his abusive childhood, his near-fatal addiction to Life, his excruciating time in rehab, and the ultimate triumph of his true nature. For the first time, Death reveals his affairs with the living, his maltreatment at the hands of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the ungodly truth behind the infamous "Jesus Incident," and the loneliness of being the End of All Things. Intense, unpredictable, and instantly engaging, Death: A Life is not only a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a universe that, despite its profound flaws, gave Death the fiery determination to carve out a successful existence on his own terms.

If you don't think it's funny, then you're probably missing the point. ( )
