How they croaked: The awful ends of the awfully famous

Bragg, G. (2011). How they croaked: The awful ends of the awfully famous. New York: Walker. This book is filled with grotesque stories about the gory deaths of historical figures. The stories are intertwined with educational facts and humor. The snarky humor used to tell of their deaths keep readers going. She uses so many synonyms for death and dead, such as croaked, kicked the bucket, and said his last words. This book is divided into chapters and introduced with a black and white comic sketch of the famous person. Bragg includes a table of contents, sources for further reading and show accurate accounts and an index for a quick reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_g1DKSH6T8
