Customer Reviews

in a previous I was in hysterics at an art opening

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

I Was Wrong!

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.

We Should All Weep...

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.

Very dark, Very funny

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.

I Could Have Laughed for Hours

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!
