Review of 'This Will Kill You' on 'Goodreads'

Finally finished This Will Kill You. It might sound a little strange, but I found this to be good bedtime reading. I could read a chapter or two about what it's like to be killed by Alligator, or Hemlock, or Rabies and then turn out the light and get a good night's sleep. I think this is partly due to the humorous tone the authors have taken even while they relate the most gruesome details about dying. And they do relate just about every method of dying you can think of.

This probably isn't for everyone but if you've ever wondered what it might be like to be burned at the stake or to be poisoned with polonium then this is the book for you.
