Bragg, G. (2011). How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous. New York, NY: Walker & Company.
This
book entails nineteen gruesome death of famous persons. From King Tut, George
Washington, Albert Einstein, to Edgar Allen Poe. Death is something inevitable and
we can only do as much as the Science available permits you to do, but there
are certain diseases that are now curable, but not back then. I like how the
book mentions a little bit about how the person was versus just how they died. The
details are quite gruesome and not easy to read if you have a weak stomach. The Science methods or curing abilities were
quite different back in the day compared to what we have available now a day. This
books uncovers many myths and mysteries of how this famous people died.
A
gut wrenching and gory details of how famous people died. Great way to attract
the readers and it had me wanting to read more. Not recommended for people with
a weak stomach. This book could be used in any subject area due to have
scientists, poets, presidents, etc.
