Who in Hell. . .: A Guide to the Damned Bunch

Provides insight into the evils committed by man (and woman) throughout the ages, but does so in a whimsical manner that makes it difficult to put the book down. I found myself leafing through the pages and wondering if I'd find -insert name here- damned to the pits of Hades. Strange that I couldn't find Mother Theresa. :)

"Who In Hell" is guide to the authors point of view of who he thinks is in hell. It contains 4 presidents and few of the popes and many celebrities and serial killers. Each person has a little bio on them on why exactly they went to hell. Not only is all of the bio's humorous but at the same time they are very informative as well and explains some facts that I had no idea about."Who in Hell" is not just limited to humans though, it has every demon supposably known to be listed in this book and their bio explains what evil each demon does.I laughed at many of the readings in this book but I also learned a lot as well. I mean seriously did you actually think Walt Disney went to hell?? Well according to this book he did!! So did Julius Ceaser!!

I enjoyed sitting down and reading this book, which read like an encyclopedia of all of Hells denizens. It is very well written and very funny, describing all who have wound up in Hell after their nefarious lives. A good fun read if you can find it.

John Paul II once said that "no man, not even Judas, can be said with certainty to be [in Hell]."It is apparant, however, that humor writers Sean Kelly and Rosemary Rogers may not be privy to Hell's residential directories, but they have certainly made the speculation all the more interesting with their joint effort Who in Hell... : a Guide to the Whole Damned Bunch. This alphabetized directory offers entries on history's better-known adulterers, heretics, thieves, tyrants, and general nasty folk, as evidenced from text in The Bible, Dante's Inferno, and various mythological sources.If you are convinced that the more-than-sunny side of the afterlife is your destination, you will discover that, according to Kelly and Rogers, you may be in good (?) company. Listed with the sin (ranging from the Seven Deadly ones to others just as bad) that likely brought them to Hell, many expected names are included. There is Judas Iscariot (deicide, treason), Adolf Hitler (suicide, though that seems to be the least of his deeds), David Koresh (blasphemy), and Aleister Crowley (fraud).Mind you, also, that Hell is an equal-opportunity place, where one will discover Protestant religious leaders (John Knox, Henry VIII of England), popes (Leo X, Sergius III), the occasional entertainer (Mae West, who sealed her doom by leading a life of lust), and even an honorary resident (Henry Kissinger, who, though still alive, leads the authors to believed that he reserved a spot in Hell for certain reasons).Who in Hell..., though a book that does prompt some serious thoughts about the next life, is a book to be taken lightly with good humor, as well a simple guide on what not to do if one desires salvation.

Can you please send me a profile of Rosemary Rogers, the author. She is a countrywoman from Sri Lanka like me.
