• Useless
  I was given this book by someone who knew how ill I am and that I want to stop. It was compltely useless, as the only method it explains and recommends depends on being able to obtain large quantities of strong prescription drugs,which is impossible for most people, especially if one is already too ill to go out anywhere. There are also chapters about prepartion, leaving notes, considering the effects on other people, but that was all very obvious and somewhat superfluous.

• Clear, simple, but very limited information.
  "Final Exit" has strengths and weaknesses as a how-to book (this is not a review of its philosophy). The writing is clear, simple, and compassionate. However, its useful information is limited to drug overdose and plastic bag asphyxia. A much more wide rangeing, thorough, and interesting book on the same subject is Geo Stone's "Suicide and Attempted Suicide: Methods and Consequences." I would suggest reading both of them.

• Useful book for the terminally ill person and their family
  Persons ethically opposed to this book need not, and should not read it. For almost ten years, Final Exit has been the accepted handbook for self-deliverance and assisted suicide for the dying person whose suffering is unbearable to them. Useful chapters on the law, communicating with others, and precise 'how to' end it details. There is no such other book available on the open market. Thousands of people have made good use of it to make their own decisions.

• This book is thoughtless, cold and full of errors
  Mr. Humphry failed to demonstrate much knowledge in the field of pathology. Many of the advices he gave are plainly wrong, and the rest of them are totally useless.

  This book is political propaganda to promote Mr. Humphry's Hemlock Society. It is NOT a useful source of information by any degree.
