I was in the library for one book, but I picked this one up as well!!! I was curious and it was short and I could add to my goodreads.com challenge, which I am lagging behind in BIG TIME!!! I will call this a 'Squeeze In' book since I have already started a book and haven't finished this one but I'll add this just because... :)
The cover caught my attention right away. And I am always interested in the topic of death. It is coming for us all after anyway.
This book is from a radio series of 90 second interludes on WNYC. During these interludes famous people (though I don't know everyone, but I just figured the others were famous to someone) do a quick interview. The dead have stories about unique parts of their lives and they only last from one to a few pages each.
Overall, this was a very smart, creative, and thoughtful short book that can keep the reader very entertained as they move on to the next dead person's story.
I give this a 4 out of 5. Go read this book!
