The small booklet offers readers a glimpse into the extraordinary
deaths of thinkers, monarchs, writers, artists, and "regular" people.
The book injects a bit of dark humor into readers lives as they travel
from the fifth century to present day deaths. I found the descriptions
and drawings to be fun and interesting. My favorite facts were about the
identical twins who died on the same day and learning how composers
used to command their orchestra back in 1687. Overall, a brilliant book
and a perfect coffee table book.
