( ) After loving How They Croaked, I was excited to read How They Choked, about epic failures among the world's elite. The chapters, however, ran a bit long without necessarily adding anything to the narrative. While this is definitely not as interesting or squirm-in-your-seat-can't-look-away as How They Croaked, it's a worthwhile addition to the young adult non-fiction genre. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Great book of weird and bad people and how they ended their lives. The audio book is very fast and geared toward young adults to combat against bullying. Interesting idea. Happy to have gotten the audio version to review, this time. Captian of the Titanic, Owner of the Titanic (White Star) shipping line, General Custer, Thomas Edison, Amelia Earhart among others. Biography. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. What a terrific book! This audiobook explores the imperfections of historical figures. My middle school students will love this book, and the fact that it is an audiobook will make it more appealing to my reluctant readers. no reviews | add a review
