3.0

The title of this book will draw almost anyone in. Exploding teeth? Cool. And this author does put together a very nice collection of medical mysteries from the early days of human history. He includes scans of newspaper and journal articles and provides interpretations for words and phrases that are no longer in use and provides commentary on each.
This was an interesting book for the first two chapters or so but it palled for me after awhile. This book would be great for reluctant middle and high schoolers who would probably devour it.
