This was too much of the same--reading over and over again ways things would kill you. It got monotonous even though it aimed to be entertaining. I ended up putting it down and picking it up between books.

3-3.5 to start but gets less compelling pretty quick. Kind of like how mythbusters started strong but faded. And do the authors know what a pike position is? Skeptical.

This book reminded me a lot of Randall Munroe's book "What if?" which I also really enjoyed. Scenarios, both possible and barely imaginable, are put forth and the exact manner at which you would die from these dangers chronicled. I found myself laughing out loud way more than I thought I would reading a book about death. The writing is fantastic and it reads like a fun series of articles rather than a long non-fiction book. I highly recommend checking it out.

This has lots of neat facts and the chapters are the perfect length for reading during lunch or other short bursts. Definitely a book for the No Such Thing as a Fish crowd.
