"A quirky, nostalgic send-up to the Oregon Trail computer game, featuring snarky and hard-earned life lessons from the trail. Pack your wagons, find your ride-or-(literally) die friends, and roll up to Matt's General Store with a sack of cash - it's time to hit the Oregon Trail, twenty-first-century style! And Then You Die of Dysentery is the perfect send-up to the sometimes frustrating, always entertaining, and universally beloved Oregon Trail computer game. Featuring a four-color design in the game's iconic 8-bit format, alongside pop culture references galore, the book offers 50 humorous, snarky lessons gleaned from the game's most iconic moments, including gems such as: Suffering from exhaustion is a real thing. (It's not just PR code for why a celebrity went to rehab.); If you hunt too frequently in one area, game will become scarce. (The first signs of gentrification!); and Invite your sweetie to cuddle with you while looking up at the stars. (The night sky was the original Netflix & Chill. Step 1: Loosen up Orion's belt...). With its laugh-out-loud commentary and its absurdist nostalgia, ...And Then You Die of Dysentery is the ultimate trip down memory lane, all the way to the Willamette Valley."--… (mais)

Great lessons to be learned from “The Oregon Trail”. ( )

So funny, but only if you grew up playing Oregon Trail and still feel that it is the best computer game ever. I learned so many useful things from that game, such as never ford the river! ( )

This book was a little different than I expected. I chuckled a few times during the fifteen minutes it took me to read--seriously short book. It was mostly stupid, but kind of funny. The art was creative, and it did bring back memories. I guffawed twice and even shouted "ooh, burn!" once. ( )

"...Oregon Trail didn't just show you how to die. It also taught you how to live."

Thus the title of this book! Enjoyable, especially if you've played the game. I grew up on the old, old version, so those graphics probably would have made this even more nostalgic for me. Still, I laughed a bit, and it's a quick read, so it was worth it! Now, I'll pass this along to my daughter, who already enjoys OT more than I did!

Some fun lessons, like "Deal with your haters by naming your wagon party after them." I totally did that!

Good luck getting to Oregon! To Chimney Rock... and beyond! ( )

Good for a chuckle from those of us who remember the game and have a passing knowledge of current pop culture. ( )
