You Are Dead. (Sign Here Please) is a madcap comedy of truly ludicrous proportions. After Nathan Haynes dies, he discovers that the afterlife is run by straight-laced bureaucrats, but when he refuses to sign his 21B he is punted back to life in his insane home city of Dead Donkey. He can’t rest easy, though – the bureaucrats are out to get him and they will put his papers in order, no matter the … the cost. Will our hero die (again)? Will the bureaucrats trick him into filling the proper forms in? Will Nathan ever get to do his laundry? Find out in You Are Dead. (Sign Here Please)!

It was stupid

Starts out with a funny and interesting premise, but soon turns into repetitious satire about bureaucracy.
Humor in the best Douglas Adams fashion. Very funny!
This may be the most inane book I have ever read. I was hoping it would be entertaining, but it really wasn’t. I was tempted to quit reading it after the first couple of chapters. Unfortunately, my ambition to finish what I start had me read the entire story. The author totally overdid the ludicrousness of the story, especially his characterization of the nature and the activities of the city of Dead Donkey. Do not read this book. It is a waste of time!
Very repetitive and boring. Made no sense, difficult to understand characters or the basis for the book.
Light, clean, hilarious.
The author throws a lot of rocks at bureaucracy, and has a lot of fun along the way!
Could not get interested in at all.
A book with a zany premise that promised more humor than it delivered. A good shaggy dog story if that’s to your liking. Characters too flat for much humor.
Just kind of a weird and silly book, nice to escape from the real world for a while!
A full explanation of what you have to sign when you die. Usefull reading for the eventual demise 😉
I had high expectations when I started, but checked out pretty quickly, and didn’t finish the book.
A very fun read that is silly at it’s calmest. Fun and a lot of laughs.
Enjoyed the book, fun read.
good light read–sarcastic.
Very strange but I have to say it was okay.
I’m glad I got this free as a promotion on BookBub, because I would be disappointed to have paid for it. It was billed as something that fans of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy would like. The style was similar –too similar. It just came off as totally derivative. The main character causes problems in the hereafter (run by bureaucrats) when he refuses to sign a form acknowledging that he is dead. The premise sounded funny, but it just wasn’t executed well at all. The author was trying waaayyy too hard to be clever.
The book was pretty silly and I would not recommend it
The title intrigued me first. As I read, the concept was imaginative and kept me entertained. This would not be a heavy, soul-searching experience, but a light heaterted look at death and bureaucracy.
