This was enlightening about the lives and the time these famous people lived. The writer and narrator were good and kept my attention and focus. Though it deals with death it gives us an insight into these people's lives and I learned a lot from it.

Really enjoyed this book

I loved this book. I learned a bunch of new and gruesome facts about how, when and why some of the most famous people in history "Croaked". But..... in a GOOD way.
The author has a wicked sense of fun, and the narrator was PERFECT! Bravo, I can't wait till Ms. Bragg's next book.

Morbid, but in a good way!

I really enjoy the narration of this book. It's a simple "read" that is understood and enjoyed by adults AND children. Kept my children off of their electronics in the car.

Easy "read'.
