Book Reviews of The Grim Reaper's Book of Days: A Cautionary Record of Famous, Infamous, and Unconventional Exits
Book Review: A Sometimes Funny and Always Interesting Book About Death
Summary: 5 Stars
Think of this book as a day calendar that contains multiple entries for each day of the year. The common thread is that the people included on each day entry died on that day. The subjects range from regular folks to the famous, infamous, or forgotten. The entries can include anything from biographical and historical information and usually details pertaining to the cause of death and any extenuating circumstances.
The information provided is interesting and well-researched. In the instances where a death is cited that was caused by sheer recklessness or stupidity, it can get pretty funny. The authors do an excellent job of condensing their facts into a readable format.
Yhis was a pleasurable book that was immediately satisfying and thought provoking.
If you like trivia, history, or quirky reads this book is an excellent choice.
