Read with extreme gusto by the talented narrator, and written with a certain cavalier attitude that simplified many historical facts, with zero nuances. There's a potted history of each famous person's achievements followed by a rather lip smacking depiction of the death.
And some random but interesting facts about burial, medicine and corpses interspersed between.
Lots of blood, oozing pus, brains, and farts. Definitely not for the squeamish. But if I knew a teenager, I think it would be hitting it's mark. Maybe I'm just a couple of decades too late to the party!

Diverting young person's Horrible Death-type accounts of famous people.

A few summer car journeys and we've all learned a fair bit. And while this is suitable for children (mine are 7 and 13 and not squeamish), it doesn't skimp on the detail of what these diseases, conditions and causes of death would do to a person.

This is the Horrible Histories of Snuffing It. For people we've heard of. I wasn't fully aware of just how awful some of them had it - Mozart for example. And I now feel very sympathetic towards Edgar Allen Poe.

Some 'if only they had modern medicine' stories are here. Others show the effects of old age or illness. We've got kings and leaders, well known artists/scientists, men and women. My boys now know how a guillotine works.

And we've downloaded How they Choked for another time.

Accessible and easy-to-listen-to audiobook for young people. Good to have the comparison to modern-day medicine to remind us how fortunate we are not to have to worry about some of these easily-preventable conditions. And that everyone is human.

For ages 7 or 8 and above.
