If you have a reluctant reader at your house, this is the book for him or her. This story of the last days of various famous persons is offered with the humor that any 12-year-old would love. I happened to have the opportunity to listen to this and the narrator (L. J. Ganser), added just the right touch to the rapid-fire humor that was sprinkled throughout this book.
